Hi Richard,

I have read the interesting article you have written at the link below.

http://azargrammar.com/teacherTalk/blog/

1. Please listen to my recording and tell if the four sentences were read with the correct intonation?

2. Please tell what the difference is between the last two sentences in the recording.

Gee, Izzy, I don't know why, but your recording doesn't play well for me. It keeps breaking up. I did get to hear the final sentence, and I'm afraid the intonation is not right.

Anyway, here's my recording of those four sentences:

Thanks a lot, Richard.

If feel that my recording is not that far from your recording.

Please tell what the difference is between the last two sentences in the recording.

Ahead means "in front of you." And you know what a head is! LOL Smile

Oh! I see.

I haven't paid attention to that that "a head" is written separately.

Thanks a lot, Richard.
