Writing can be divided into all kinds of different categories. One of the main divides is between informal and formal writing. Formal writing includes business writing, formal letters, and academic writing. Although business writing and academic writing, for instance, have some differences, all formal writing shares certain features.
This lesson will help you to understand writing rules needed to succeed at writing for school, for work, or for other situations where a more formal style is appropriate.
Audience and Purpose
The first thing to understand is that informal writing is not 'wrong,' nor is formal writing 'right.' Each is simply appropriate for certain circumstances, just as it's perfectly acceptable to go out in jeans and a t-shirt, but that may not be the best choice for a job interview.
When deciding whether your piece should be written formally, consider who will be reading this and why. If your audience is just your friends and the purpose of your piece is to let them know about your garage sale, you probably don't need to use the rules of formal writing. However, if you are presenting a proposal to your boss or writing a research paper for a teacher, formal rules of writing typically apply.
The Rules of Formal Writing
Most sentences should be complex and add specific meaning to the writing.You should use a sophisticated vocabulary with terms that are accepted in the topic's field.Keep a serious tone with literal meanings. Formal writing should not be filled with clichés and metaphors, like phrases such as 'hard as nails.'The piece should have a specifically-stated purpose, called the thesis in academic writing.Avoid contractions.The piece will usually be written in thethird-person perspective, which means you will not use 'I' or 'you'.Use standard spelling (no texting-style words like 'LOL').Use standard punctuation.References must be properly cited for academic or published writing.You should organize the writing into paragraphs that fit together.

Explanation:
The terms former and latter are words used to distinguish between two things. Former directs us to the first of these two things, and latter directs us to the second (or last) of them. Do not use former or latter when you are writing about more than two things.
