Happy happy Friday Mr. [이름]!

How was you night?

Did you have a good sleep?
I guess that you are still sleeping at this time?

Aren\'t you? kkkk


Well, I bet that the homework was not clear to you again.

So please tell me if you have questions about it.

But anyway, here is a simple explanation about FORMAL and INFORMAL English.


One of the greatest fears affecting non native speakers of English is not just being misunderstood but also being inappropriate when trying to express something.

People often speak of language as being correct or incorrect.


It would be more accurate to refer to particular language structures as being formal or informal, appropriate or inappropriate for a specific context.

In everyday conversation we do not have to follow the rules of grammar as carefully as we would in a formal address or a business letter.

If we adhere too closely to formal rules of grammar in an informal situation, we may come across as being stuffy and unnatural.

It is like wearing a tuxedo or a formal gown to an ordinary business meeting.


Formal English follows rules of grammar very strictly.

Sentences tend to be longer and more complex.

It tends to be used in professional and business situations.

It is also better organized and thought out.

Informal English on the other hand is generally used with friends and family.

A number of grammar expressions have common forms which differ in their formal or informal use.

These differences are noted both in written and spoken English.

However, they are most notable in written English.


Hope this can help.

And please do not forget to practice the correction below.

Thanks a lot!


Always,
Kathrine ^^
