I. Sequence of Tones. Complex Sentences
If an adverbial clause precedes the principal one and makes a separate intonation-group, it is usually pronounced with the Low Rise or Mid-Level as it implies continuation. e. g. If you à want to have a > rest, | à go to the \country. If you à want to have a /rest, | à go to the \country.
In case the complex sentence begins with the principal clause and contains more than one intonation-group both the clauses are usually pronounced with the low-falling nuclear tone. e. g. à Go to the \country | if you à want to have a \rest.
If the principal clause implies continuation and makes a separate intonation-group it is pronounced with the low-rising or falling-rising nuclear tone. e. g. I'll à tell him at /once | you à want to \see him. Adverbial clauses of condition and time Exercises 1. Listen carefully to the sentences below and, repeat them in the intervals.
