Answer:

Formal is when you're talking to someone with authority and you're not on a personal level with them. You don't know them. So you wouldn't use slang like "Yo what's up" which would be informal. Informal is when you're comfortable with someone and you're not in a professional scenario.

Answer: Formal language does not use colloquialisms, contractions or first-person pronouns such as “I” or “We.” Informal language is more casual and spontaneous.
