Question

c) Read the following conversation and identify the register that is used. Support your answer by quoting two examples from the conversation.                                                                                     

Willy lets fly with his slop rag. It misses Sam and hits Hally

HALLY: [Furious] For [Pete’s] sake, Willy! What the hell do you think you’re doing?

WILLY: Sorry, Master Halley, but it’s him…

HALLY: Act your bloody age! [Hurls the rag back at Willie] Cut out the nonsense now and get on with the work. And you too Sam. Stop fooling around.

Answer 1

The language register used is informal. For instance, "what the hell do you think you are doing" and "Act your bloody age" contain "hell" and "bloody" both of which are cursing words used in informal conversations.
