Falling Intonation
Standard patterns
Standard unemphatic falling intonation is the most common type of intonation in English. It is used in statements (declarative sentences), special questions, commands (imperative sentences), exclamatory sentences, in the first part of disjunctive questions and in the last part of alternative questions. (Different types of sentences are described in Basic Word Order in the section Grammar.) The final fall in English is used on the last stressed syllable of a sentence and falls stronger and deeper than the fall in Russian.

Meaning of falling intonation
Falling intonation is used for asking and giving information in normal, quiet, unemphatic style. At the same time, falling intonation conveys certain emotions, such as completion, finality, confidence. Falling intonation sounds more categorical, confident, and convincing than rising intonation. Compare the use of the falling tone and the rising tone in the second part of tag questions.
Tag questions
You \LIVE here, /DON'T you? (The speaker thinks you live here but isn't sure and asks for confirmation.)
You \LIVE here, \DON'T you? (The speaker is sure and expects the answer "yes".)
Nice \WEATHer, /ISN'T it? (The speaker thinks that the weather is nice but asks for your opinion and confirmation.)
Nice \WEATHer, \ISN'T it? (The speaker is sure the weather is nice and expects the answer "yes".)
Note that the falling tone is always used in the first part of tag questions (disjunctive questions). Despite the fact that tag questions are asked to get confirmation and agreement, the answer may be affirmative or negative.
