Скачать или смотреть Formal and informal English

🤩 There are many differences between formal and informal English, including features of grammar, vocabulary and punctuation - here are four common differences 👇 !

⭐️ 1: Choice of vocabulary: In informal English we use more common words and more phrasal verbs.

⭐️ 2: Abbreviations: In informal English it's more common to use abbreviations, contractions and acronyms. In formal English we tend to use full forms.

⭐️ 3: Active/passive structures: Quite often in formal language we choose passive structures over active. In informal English, simple structures are generally more common.

⭐️ 4: Simple/complex sentence structures: In informal English, short, simple sentences are much more common, whereas in formal English, we use more complex sentence structures.

It's important to know the difference - for example, when you write a job application letter ✉️ it's not a good idea to use the same language you use to chat to your friends online 💬 .
