Slide 1: What is register?

Register means how we speak in different situations. It changes with audience, purpose, and setting. We use formal or informal tones accordingly.

Slide 2: When to be formal

Avoid slang in exams, letters, or meetings. Use full sentences, polite greetings, and respectful language. Clarity, precision, and courtesy matter.

Slide 3: When to be informal

In chats with friends or casual emails, we can be friendly. Short sentences, contractions, and casual vocabulary fit well.

4

Slide 4: Key features of formal

Full sentences, polite tone, and specific vocabulary. No slang, no abbreviations, and correct titles.

5

Slide 5: Key features of informal

Colloquial language, contractions, and playful expressions. Personal opinions are common, and humor often appears with peers.

Slide 6: Greetings and closings

Formal: Dear Dr. Smith, Sincerely, Informal: Hi Tom! See you soon. Choose based on the reader.

Slide 7: Pronouns and tone

Formal: use you/he/she respectfully. Informal: we, you guys, or buddy language. Adjust pronouns to mood.

Formal: assist, request, inform. Informal: help, ask, tell. Avoid mixed tones in the same piece.
