FORMAL STYLEFormal style is characterised by the use of:
advanced vocabularye.g. I am writing to enquire whether... (not: I want to ask if)
formal linking words/phrases(consequently, however, therefore, for this reason)
e.g. I have worked as a primary school teacher for ten years and therefore have experience working with children.
passive voicee.g. I can be contacted... (not: You can contact me...)
polite forms without contractionse.g. I would be grateful if...
I would appreciate it if you could...
I would like to apply ... (not I'd like to...)
Colloquial expressions, phrasal verbs, idioms and short forms are not used in formal style.
