Tones are an essential part of proper pronunciation. In Mandarin Chinese, many characters have the same sound. Therefore tones are necessary when speaking Chinese in order to differentiate words from each other.
Four Tones
There are four tones in Mandarin Chinese, which are:
First tone: a level and higher pitch
Second tone: rising, start from a lower pitch and end at a slightly higher pitch
Third tone: falling rising, start at a neutral tone then dip to a lower pitch before ending at a higher pitch
Fourth tone: falling, start the syllable at a slightly higher than neutral pitch then go quickly and strongly downwards
