Formality tells people when to use formal or informal language at the right time.
Formal is when you have to follow the rules and respect people like when someone special comes to the school you have to be nice.
Informal is when you don't need to follow any rules and don't need to be respectful like when your friends come over.
Formal and informal are the opposite of each other.
L.I. To Identify formal and informal language.
Hello O’ninesha,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching the videos you filmed, and I think your blog post is very informative about formality. What are some examples of formal and informal language? What kinds of situations would you use that language in?
Kia Ora Bella,
DeleteThank you for taking the time to give feedback to my blog post. An example of formal language is ‘Good Afternoon’ and I would use this language when greeting an employee at a shop. An example of informal language is ‘Wanna go to the park?’ and I would use this language when I’m with my friends at school. Are you familiar with formal and informal situations? What are some examples?
DeleteHi O’ninesha,
Thank you for replying, and asking an interesting question. Yes, I am familiar with formal and informal situations. An example of a formal situation is a job interview, and an example of an informal situation is having dinner with your family. Have you been in an informal situation? What situation was that, and how could you have made it formal?
Hello Bella,
DeleteThank you for giving an answer to my question. Yes, I have been in an informal situation where I have visited a friend at their house. I could have made this situation formal by having dinner with their parents. This would be formal because I would not know their expectations. Thank you for commenting threading with me, I enjoyed learning more about formality.
