    Language Notes:
    1. In formal writing, we put the prepositions before a question word. In
    conversation, we usually put the preposition at the end of the question:
    Formal: On what floor do you live?
    Informal: What floor do you live on?
    2. We use whom after a preposition. We often use who when the preposition
    is at the end:
    Formal: With whom do you live?
    Informal: Who do you live with?
    ________________________________________________________________________
    Exercise 1: Label each sentence formal or informal.

    frequency word.
    2. In a short answer, the frequency word comes between the subject and the
