Meeting a client

What is the difference between formal and informal?

Formal vs. Informal

• We use formal language in situations that are serious or that involve people we don’t know well.
  

• Informal language is more commonly used in situations that are more relaxed and involve people we know well

Example 

Formal sentence: Can I get you something to drink?

Informal sentence: Like a drink?
