祈使句升降調讀法

祈使句是用來表示命令的句式，語氣較強，一般用降調:

↘Stand up. 站起來。

Be ↘careful. 小心點。

Close the ↘door. 把門關上。

Leave me ↘alone. 讓我一個人呆一會兒。

Don’t make any ↘mistakes. 別出任何差錯。

表示鼓勵、態度親切或客氣的請求的祈使句或表示委婉命令的祈使句，也可以用升調，這樣聽起來就會更有禮貌:

Wait a ↗moment. 稍等一下。

Give me a ↗call. 給我打個電話。

Cheer ↗up! 振作起來！

Don’t ↗ worry. 別擔心。

Come over ↗here. 過來這兒。¥24

英語升降調的規則:

一、降調:

1、陳述句讀降調: He works hard every day.

2、特殊疑問句讀降調: Who are you? How do you go to school? Where does he work?

3、感歎句讀降調: How clever she is! What a great museum!

二、升調

通常降調用於下列情況：

1、一般疑問句讀升調: Are you a doctor? Do you speak English? Would you like some soup?

2、陳述疑問句用升調：You are a policeman?

3、未聽清對方的話，要求對方重複一下用升調(以Wh-開頭的問句用升調常表示提問的人對所獲得的回答沒聽清楚而要求對方再重複)：What? Who? When? For what? Pardon? What is your name?

4、句子較長，中間劃分意羣停頓時通常都讀升調。

If you like sports， you can be a coach， a sports reporter or a PE teacher.

He is good at football， ping-pong and basketball.

除此之外

1、選擇疑問句前升後降: Do you speak English or French? Are you a teacher or a businessman?

2、 反義疑問句前降後升，但把握較大時前後都降: You know it， don't you? It is fine， isn't it?

3、 祈使句表示命令讀降調，表示請求用升調: Don't move! Sit down， please. Follow me， please
