Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Formal and Informal Vocabulary — Word Sort: Foundation (Year 6 ...
To solve this, we need to match each informal word with its formal equivalent from the word cloud. The example given is:

Informal: begin → Formal: commence

Now let’s go through the rest of the words in the cloud and pair them up.

Words in the cloud:
- discover
- correct
- request
- accept
- find out
- wrong
- reject
- say no
- begin (already used)
- ask for
- commence (already used as formal for “begin”)
- incorrect
- say yes
- right

We’ll group them by meaning:

1. say yesaccept
(When you say yes to something, you’re accepting it.)

2. say noreject
(Saying no means you’re rejecting something.)

3. find outdiscover
(Finding out information is the same as discovering it.)

4. ask forrequest
(Asking for something formally is making a request.)

5. wrongincorrect
(Wrong and incorrect mean the same thing — not correct.)

6. rightcorrect
(Right and correct are synonyms — both mean accurate or true.)

Let’s double-check that every word is used exactly once:

Used so far:
- Informal: begin, say yes, say no, find out, ask for, wrong, right → 7 total
- Formal: commence, accept, reject, discover, request, incorrect, correct → 7 total

All 14 words are paired. Perfect.

Now fill the table:

| Informal | Formal |
|--------------|-------------|
| begin | commence |
| say yes | accept |
| say no | reject |
| find out | discover |
| ask for | request |
| wrong | incorrect |
| right | correct |

Final Answer:
Informal: begin, say yes, say no, find out, ask for, wrong, right
Formal: commence, accept, reject, discover, request, incorrect, correct
