This image shows an educational worksheet designed to teach students the difference between formal and informal English, featuring example sentences and a space for answers.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide if it’s formal or informal, based on the rules in the worksheet:

- Formal English: Used when you don’t know someone, or for serious writing (like letters, resumes). You speak carefully, avoid contractions like “ain’t” or “wanna”, and use full words.

- Informal English: Used with friends, in texts, emails, casual talk. Shorter sentences, slang, contractions, greetings like “hey”, “holla”, “dude”.

Now let’s label each:

1. Can you pass the potatoes please?
→ Polite request, no slang, proper grammar → Formal

2. I am having a very good day today.
→ Full sentence, no contractions, polite tone → Formal

3. Yo, look at that zebra in the cage!
→ Starts with “Yo” — slang greeting → Informal

4. Your hair looks very nice today.
→ Compliment, polite, no slang → Formal

5. That movie was awesome!
→ “Awesome” is casual/slang word → Informal

6. Dude, where’s my car?
→ “Dude” = slang, contraction “where’s” → Informal

7. Are you going to the rehearsal dinner tonight?
→ Proper question, no slang → Formal

8. I haven’t eaten a thing for awhile.
→ “Haven’t” is a contraction, but still acceptable in semi-formal speech. However, “for awhile” is slightly casual. But overall, this is more neutral. Let’s check: The worksheet says informal uses simpler/shorter sentences and slang. This isn’t really slang. Actually, “haven’t” is common even in formal speech sometimes. Wait — the example given in the worksheet for formal includes avoiding contractions like “aren’t, isn’t, wasn’t”. So if we follow strictly, using “haven’t” might make it informal? Hmm.

But look at Example A: “Let us go to the park...” → they used “us” instead of “’s” — so they’re being strict about contractions.

In #8: “I haven’t eaten...” → has contraction → should be Informal? But wait — many native speakers use “haven’t” in formal settings too. Let’s compare to other items.

Actually, looking back at the definition: Formal English avoids contractions *such as* aren’t, isn’t, wasn’t — implying those are examples, not an absolute rule for all contractions. Also, “I haven’t” is standard English, not slang.

Compare to #9: “Holla if you hear me!” — clearly slang.

#8 is probably meant to be Informal because of the contraction and casual phrasing (“a thing”, “awhile”). But let’s see what makes sense.

Wait — item #10: “Good morning, my name is John.” → very formal.

Item #11: “Momin’ sir, nice to seeya.” → obvious slang/informal.

So for #8: “I haven’t eaten a thing for awhile.” — “haven’t” is a contraction, “a thing” is vague/casual, “awhile” is colloquial. Likely intended as Informal.

But let’s double-check with logic: If #2 “I am having...” is formal (no contraction), then #8 with contraction should be informal. Yes.

→ Informal

9. Holla if you hear me!
→ “Holla” = slang → Informal

10. Good morning, my name is John.
→ Standard polite introduction → Formal

11. Momin’ sir, nice to seeya.
→ “Momin’” = slang for “Morning”, “seeya” = slang for “see you” → Informal
