Imagine your principal in Kingston says, "Students are required to assemble in the auditorium at 8:00 a.m. for the commencement of the assembly." Now imagine your cousin says, "Yo, everybody pack up, assembly start eight o'clock sharp!" The MESSAGE is identical, but the DICTION (word choice) and SYNTAX (sentence structure) are worlds apart. Mastering when to use each is the heartbeat of CSEC English A.
