Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between tone and register in KS3 English?

Tone is the mood or attitude a text creates, like serious or cheerful. Register is the level of formality chosen for the audience and purpose.

How do antonyms help me change tone?

Picking opposite words shifts style quickly: purchase vs buy, request vs ask. These choices make writing more formal or more casual while keeping meaning.

When should I use formal rather than informal language?

Use formal language for school essays, letters to officials, and reports. Use informal language for friendly messages, dialogue, or casual blog posts.
