This is no expert advice, just a start for

other people to correct me.

'Tone' is the general sound of what somebody

says. For example, being angry, upset or happy can affect the tone

of what we say.

'Intonation' is more specifically in

accordance with the rise and fall of the tone of certain Words

within a sentence. For example, when we ask a question, the

intonation often rises at the end of the sentence.
