Me’.

narrative.

3.  I also learnt about ‘Formal and Informal’ modes. For
example formal may be presented in a classical music
magazine or in a letter ‘Yours faithfully’ or ‘Yours

 And Expletive Language - This comes across as
informal as it is known for 'swearing'.

a music magazine may be;

 Format of magazine
