Precise and formal language example -
Imprecise Language: "I'll be ready in a little while."
Precise Language: "I'll be ready in 10 minutes."
Precise and formal language example: "I humbly request your presence at the business luncheon scheduled for 12:00 PM on Friday, September 10th, 2022."
Imprecise Language: "I saw a lot of people at the party."
To determine if a sentence represents imprecise language, you need to look for any vague terms or statements that lack specific details. In this example, the term "a lot of people" is imprecise because it does not specify the exact number of people seen at the party.
Precise Language: "I saw 50 people at the party."
To identify precise language, you need to look for specific details and eliminate any ambiguity. In this example, the sentence clearly states the exact number of people seen at the party, making it precise.
Precise and formal language example: "I observed a total of 50 attendees at the social gathering."
For a sentence to be considered both precise and formal, it should be specific and use appropriate language for the context. In this example, the sentence provides a precise count of the attendees and uses formal language such as "observed" and "social gathering."
Imprecise Language:
- "I'll be there soon."
- "It's really hot outside."
Precise Language:
- "I will arrive at 2:30 PM."
- "The temperature is 35 degrees Celsius."
Precise and formal language example:
- "I hereby cordially extend my heartfelt congratulations on your exceptional achievement."
