Notice the pronunciation of the contracted forms such as you’ll, we’ll, they’ll, etc.

The /1 / in those contractions is called dark I. It is different from the elear I in luggage, delay, we'll arrive, for example. /1 / is elear before a vowel sound or / j / but dark elsewhere, as for example in film, milk, etc.

4)) 13 Listen again and practise the fading intonation.

4)) 14 A question tag is a short question that we often put on the end of a sentence when we speak. Listen to the intonation in these question tags.

1    Surely there’s an earlier flight, isn't there?

2    This queue doesn’t seem to be moving, does it?

Whafs the rule?

Question tags have a different function depending on the intonation used.

•    If the voice rises, as in example 1, the speaker is checking Information. So tlils Is morę like a genuine question.

•    If the voice falls, as in example 2, the speaker is just saying what he or she thinks.
