Intonation
Generally speaking, if English is not your first
language, this is where you start running into difficulty.
Even if you pronounce each word clearly, if your
intonation patterns are non-standard, your meaning will
probably not be clear. Also, in terms of comprehension,
you will lose a great deal of information if you are listening
for the actual words used.

Example
1. Last time I went to the beach I bought an eel, and I ate it all.
2. When was the last time you went to the beach?
3. I asked her not to go with Jonathan!

Important!
Intonation may affect the whole sentence, whereas the
tone affects only the syllable. Stress is described as the
rhythm, intonation as the melody, and the tone is
actually musical.
The Oxford Dictionary of English Grammar by Ms. Sylvia Chalker and Mr. Edmund Weiner

Once you are clear on the intonation changes in the seven
sentences, you can add context words to clarify the meaning:
1. I didn't say he stole the money, someone elsesaid it.
2. I didn't say he stole the money, that's not true atall.
3. I didn't say he stole the money, I only suggestedthe possibility.
4. I didn't say he stole the money, I think someoneelse took it.
5. I didn't say he stole the money, maybe he justborrowed it.
6. I didn't say he stole the money, but rather someother money.
7. I didn't say he stole the money, he may have taken
some jewelry.
