thanks

thanks for taking time to teach us.But I would appreciate if you could clarify few doubts.

1)Is it ok to use 'very' in formal writing?

2)The words ' urgent matter' has been copied fron the question, can we use 'important work or issue'?

3)Is it ok to use ' you see' in formal writing.If no, what is are the alternative word?

4)Is it ok to use 'enough' in a formal letter?

5)'Make a trip to' sounds informal . what is the best formal variant?

6)Is ' makes me' formal enough?

thanks

I would like to ask you if instead of saying I will not have enough time to make a trip to you cannot say:and I will not have enough time to pay you a visit.Is this a slang?I am reffering to this expression:to pay smb a visit which means to visit someone ,as you know .

[Dreamsrbroken1]

@lauradreamerprincess ... I will not have enough time to pay you a visit..it doesnt make any sense ? anyways when u r going to sit in ielts test? may be slang but i guess in formal writing we need to write precisely...

[brit387]

what a reason !!

anyway thank u :-)

Thanks, Ryan! That is really helpful. But are you sure about "the hospital" ?

[buster999121]

thanks but im pretty sure if was able to sit and think and write a letter and send it,im sure he would have time to return the books Lol

[MrNemesisydney]

when you write "yo see", are you not being formal and changing the tone to informal..please clarify

[mariuzLTU]

"On the grounds" is something like "regarding to"

[00miaaa00]

hi, i was just wondering, what does "on the grounds" actually mean?or how should i apply it on other sentences..?i've never came across with that phrase before..

i like this letter man but its too formal and too complicated that "Waive" regretfully etc. i am born in Australia and my first language is english but cant you write the letter more simpler or does it have to be formal that what you wrote?

[guitarheroexpertNOT]

You still have a nice voice. One question. Can you take my GED for me? LOL......Excellent stuff.
