• Adverbs (slowly, quickly)
• Adjectives (beautiful, large)
• Question words (who, where, what, when, why)
• Demonstratives (this, that, those)

Example: I want to save some money.

Generally, we do not stress function words such as:

• Articles (a, an, the)
• Prepositions (at, to, of)
• Conjunctions (but, or)
• Most pronouns (he, her, it, they)
• Helping verbs (be, have, do)

2. Intonation

There are two main intonation patterns in English:

Rising-Falling intonation in statements and wh- questions.
Examples: The dog is energetic.

What time is it?
When will you go?
Why did he do that?

Rising intonation is used for yes or no questions.
Examples:

Are you coming?
Do you like it?
Is he around?

Rising intonation is also used for questions that use a statement word order.

I can't do that?
He isn't here?
