No recording is attached; use the spelling and your voice.
The idea
A neutral statement often falls at the end; a yes-or-no question often rises. Pitch varies by region and context. Compare Llegas mañana. and ¿Llegas mañana? Keep your jaw relaxed; pitch changes come from the voice, not a special lip shape.
Examples
- Llegas mañana.You arrive tomorrow.
- ¿Llegas mañana?Are you arriving tomorrow?
- La tienda abre temprano.The shop opens early.
- ¿La tienda abre temprano?Does the shop open early?
- Hay pan en la cocina.There is bread in the kitchen.
- ¿Hay pan en la cocina?Is there bread in the kitchen?
