Formality is knowing if the situation is formal or informal and knowing what language to use. There are also different kinds of formality in some cultures.
Formal means when you have to follow the rules. An example of formal language is: "Would you like to watch the rugby game with me?" Example of formal situations are: meetings, interviews, funerals and church.
Informal is when you don't have to follow the rules. An example of informal language is: "Chur broo wanna go watch rugby, eyy?"Examples of informal situations are: playing at the park, going shopping, birthdays and hallowenn.
Sometimes formal situations can be similar to informal situations, for example: having a meeting at the park or having lunch at a meeting.
