I have a few questions about formal, informal and slang words.
1. First of all, let's talk about phrasal verbs. Some people say that all phrasal verbs are informal. I have a book from EnglishClub.Com where only a few of them are noted to be informal. The Oxford Dictionary also notes a few phrasal verbs to be informal. So if a phrasal verb in Oxford dicitionary isn't said to be informal, can I use such a verb in formal situations?
2. What is the difference between the informal words and slang words?
3. Could you give me a few situations where formal, informal and slang words should be used?
Thanks
