Formal English
Formal English is mainly used in writing. This style is academic in tone and is commonly used in academictextbooks, most university essays, business letters and contracts.In the case of speaking, formal English is usually only used for official or serious occasions, e.g., to formallywelcome guests at a university graduation ceremony.Formal English uses more complex vocabulary than everyday speech. For example, it uses many “bigger”words that aren’t normally used in conversation. Examples are multi-syllable words like
compensate
,
ascend
and
interrogate
. It also prefers one-part verbs (e.g.,
establish
) instead of simpler, phrasal verbs (e.g.,
set up
).Slang and colloquial vocabulary are avoided.When formal English is used in writing, sentences tend to be long and complex, and grammar rules are followedstrictly. It tends to be impersonal (or neutral), often using impersonal pronouns like
it
and passive verbs.Contracted and abbreviated forms of words are usually avoided.
Informal & popular English
Informal English is the language spoken by most people every day. It’s also widely used in emails and letters tofriends.Speakers of informal English aren’t very concerned about their vocabulary. For example, informal English usesmany short words (e.g.,
fire
,
climb
and
ask
), much colloquial vocabulary (e.g.,
stuff
,
a lot of
,
thing
and
sortof
) and multi-part verbs (e.g.,
set up
instead of
establish
). Informal English is also more relaxed about grammar rules than formal English, using simpler grammatical structures and loosely-connected sentences and phrases.When used in writing, informal English uses first and second person points-of-view (e.g.,
I
,
you
and
we
) tocreate a more personal style than formal English. Contractions (e.g.,
it’s
instead of
it is
) are also very common.As well, informal English tends to use shorter sentences than in more formal writing, and the more formal punctuation marks − the semi-colon (;) and colon (:) − are usually avoided.
Popular English
is rarely used in writing, being used mostly in spoken English. It includes a good bit of slang.Slang is words or expressions that are very informal and are not considered suitable for polite speech or moreformal situations. Slang is often used only by particular social groups or professions.
