First Term English Phonics Worksheet (2)
Unit 2: Bear in Mind

A: Intonation:  We raise or lower the tone of our voice to express different emotions
                               or meanings.                                                               
       For ‘wh’ questions and statements we express with a falling tone. 
       Example:  What’s your name?  ↘       or         I want a cookie. ↘
       For yes/no questions we express with a raising tone.  Example:  Is it rainy today? ↗

 

 

 

     Listen to the dialogue and mark each box with a rising ↗     or falling  ↘ tone.

 Waiter:  Would you like some water?
 Sally:  Yes, please.  What are your burgers like?
Waiter: Do you like cheeseburgers? 
Ours are the best.
Sally:  Yes, I do!  What type of cheese do you have here? 
Waiter:  We have cheddar cheese.  

Sally:    Perfect.  I will have some fries too please.
Waiter: What sauce would you like with your fries?
Sally:    Just ketchup is fine.
Waiter:  Can I get you anything else?
Sally:    A glass of iced tea, please.
Waiter:  I’ll get it right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B: Suffixes: -aught/-ought
     We say/pronounce these suffixes the same way- caught and bought rhyme with tot.


Read the sentences and underline the aught/ought word and a word it rhymes with.
Example: bought rhymes with not

  1. I thought it earlier, it got late really fast.

  2. My sister caught a cold, don’t worry it’s not too serious.

  3. I bought a lot of candy for my birthday party.

  4. He is so naughty, he just threw the pot on the floor!

Listen to your teacher and put a tick in the box when you hear the aught/ought sound.
