Lynn Gweeny Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi, Can we use contractions like 'it's', 'I've', etc? I'm doing a Chemistry EE and we need to keep the formal tone, but I'm going over the word limit so I'm hoping contractions will save me. Thanks in advance!

IB_taking_over Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Contractions are generally not used in formal writing. They are viewed as too colloquial. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 You will get marks off for any language or formality criteria. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
