I am doing an english assignment. I had to read an article. What does it mean by What is the format?

Answer 1

There are many ways you can interpret by "what is the format?"

1) Look at the way the author wrote the article. There might be things such as a title, columns, footnotes, paragraphs, paraphrases, quotes, page numbers, etc.

2) Look at the grammar and type the person uses. Is it double spaced? Bold? Think of the general "format" for term papers, such as 8 1/2 x 11" paper, 12 Times New Roman font, double spaced, 1 inch margins, including a work cited page, and footnotes.

I guess this is for an english assignment. Most english teachers / professors would ask dumb questions like that. Haha.

I hope that helped.

Answer 2

The format of a writing article is how it was written, was it done as a writer the article has a subject, sourses of info, a purpose, the audience, the length, and so the format is all that has to be considered : What was the purpose of the particular piece written and take in all the above and summarize if the format is, Or it could mean is it a contrast/ comparison or persuasion/ informative, or the other various types of written work. Check your syllabus to see if the instructions are more defined.

Answer 3

Yes I agree with the first answer. It may be talking about the perspective (1st, 2nd or third person)

Of course articles are written in Essay format but I would lean on the perspective by judging your question.

Answer 4

I think they might mean--is it a narrative (as a person telling a story)? There numerous forms of writing -- like observation, summary, fantasy, persuasive, descriptive, comparison/contrast, explanatory, expository, etc.

With regards to scholarly articles at high school and college level--there are different types of articles. For example: general, essays, forums, research notes, reviews, etc.

Answer 5

That is difficult to answer because we don't have enough information. It may be a question about how the article is organized or how the footnoting is done.

Answer 6

We need more information to answer this correctly. It may be, as said before, what the point of view is. It may also mean what type of literature it is. please update this question with more info or determine it for yourself. good luck.

Answer 7

Answer 8
