What do you think of when you hear 'formal language'?

Formal writing in a nutshell

• Formal language → more 'expensive' wording
• No contractions → can’t = cannot / won’t = will not
• Do not use questions
  
• In an essay → do not use ‘I’
  
• Use linking words
  
• Focus on lay-out: Empty line between each paragraph

Study the language (left: informal right: formal)
