| Hi everyone / Dear members,
| | Error code 404 |
| | | </div> |
| A language register is the level and style of your writing. It should be appropriate for the situation you are in.
| |
| | |
| The language register determines the vocabulary, structure, and some grammar in your writing.
| |
| | |
| The 3 most common language registers in writing are:
| |
| *Formal
| |
| *Informal
| |
| *Neutral
| |
| | |
| ==Formal Language Register== | |
| | |
| Formal writing is probably the most difficult type of writing. It is impersonal, meaning it is not written for a specific person and is written without emotion.
| |
| | |
| Some kinds of writing are always written in formal English.
| |
| | |
| ==Informal Language Register==
| |
| | |
| Informal writing is written in the way we talk to our friends and family. We use informal writing when we are writing to someone we know very well.
| |
| | |
| ==Neutral Language Register==
| |
| | |
| We use the neutral language register with non-emotional topics and information.
| |
| | |
| Neutral writing is not necessarily formal or informal. It is not usually positive or negative. A neutral register is used to deliver facts.
