🔺Module 7 - W1 - Day 3 - ELA
Lesson Instructions
You will go through two lessons (one in grammar and one in reading).
GRAMMAR
Introduction
Today, I want to talk with you more about when we use formal and informal language.
Formal language makes the speaker/writer seem more serious and knowledgeable, so people are more likely to take what they say as an expert opinion.
Informal language is very relaxed and is used in our day-to-day lives.
