Mercury:

first question: "which of the following is written using the most formal english?" remember, in formal English you'll want to follow normal rules about spelling, punctuation, and grammar. choice A doesn't work because it uses abbreviated "chatspeak". choice D doesn't work because it's not really correct grammar. between B and C which one do you think is more formal?

olivey:

olivey:

c is that right?

Mercury:

olivey:

Mercury:

for the second question: When is it most appropriate to use informal english? you can use *informal* English with people you know well, and when the conversation is casual instead of serious between the choices, which one do you think is best for informal language?

Mercury:

disagree with C - in an essay you want to be formal because you want to be taken seriously

olivey:

A

Mercury:

if you're giving a presentation you would also want to use formal language to be taken seriously

Mercury:

if you are B) Texting your friend, then you can use informal language because it's not a serious conversation and you're talking to somebody you know well. therefore B is the best solution.
