Formal vs informal

Your knowledge on formal and informal writing will now be tested through true or false statements. 

In formal writing contractions (I'm, can't, it's, etc.) are allowed.

1. True
2. False

How are these supposed to be written then?

Can't         ->      cannot

It's              ->      It is 

I'm              ->      I am

Don't         ->      Do not

Etc. 

In formal writing, you are allowed to start a sentence with: but.

1. True
2. False

What are the different ways to say 'but'?

Words to replace but with:

However                       "The Mothman is a myth. However, I would like for it to be true."   

                                           "I would like, however, for you to stop chatting." 

Yet                                    "There are so many collegues, yet I expected more." 

Nevertheless               "The soldiers were outnumbered. Nevertheless, they stood their ground." 

Still                                   "Jessie and James act mean. Still, they are good people at heart."

Except                             "Every student except Ryan enjoys basketball."

Although                         "He spoke out, although he claims to be shy."

On the other hand      "On one hand it is a bad idea. On the other hand, it could be hilarious."

"Gonna" and "Wanna" are incredibly informal.

1. True
2. False

Turn this question into a formal sentence:

Will you be at the meeting?

To summarise:

- Contractions are not allowed (cannot, could not, I am, etc.)

- Turn questions into formal sentences. 

- Refrain from (do not) use exclamation marks
