What is the

difference between
conversation and
dialogue?
A conversation is when
two or more people are
having a discussion about
any topic.
Yes, you read that
correctly, ANY topic.
Conversations are generally
informal which means when
you are talking to someone
you can tell each other
stories, make jokes, talk about
something personal, you
name it!
Conversation is
generally used to refer
to a discussion that
takes place in person,
meaning face-to-face.
Example:
Jennifer: Hey! How did your English level
exam go?
Michael: Oh, it went really well except
conversation part. But I need to take more
conversational classes. How about you ...how'd your
presentation go?
Jennifer: Not bad, thanks. Im just glad it's
over! Thanks for helping me with it!
Michael: No problem. So ... do you feel like
studying tomorrow for our math exam?
Jennifer: Yeah, sure! Come over around 10:30, after
breakfast.
Michael: All right. Il bring my notes.
What is a dialog?
Dialog on the other hand
can only take place
between two people. A
dialog can be both formal
and informal depending
on what the two people
are discussing.
Dialog is used for a purpose. This
means that there is a reason for
the discussion. A dialog is made
up of mostly questions, answers,
and requests. Why? Because it
helps to keep the discussion
going.
Dialog is mainly used in
literature, films, plays, and
books because it helps to
indicate a discussion that is
taking place between
characters.
Example:
Journalist: Hello, my name is Mr. Martin. I am a reporter
for BBC and have an appointment to meet Mr. Kevin.
Assistant: You will have to wait for some time since Mr.
Kevin is in a meeting right now.
Journalist: How long will the meeting last?
Assistant: It should be over in about 20
minutes.
Journalist: That's fine with me.
Assistant: Would you like some tea?
Journalist: I would like some tea please, thank you.
Assistant: You're welcome. Please have a seat. I will let you
know as soon as Mr. Kevin is free.
Journalist: l appreciate your cooperation.
When do you use conversation
and dialog?
We use conversation every single day!
In English when we talk about
conversation, we are referring to
discussions that can take place
ANYWHERE, such as at the gym, in the
shops, and when casually talking to
family or friends.
Dialog is used when you want to write a
discussion in plays, books, and films.
Dialog is very impotant in written work
because it helps to strengthen the plot of
a story, indicate what someone is feeling
or thinking, and assist in the general
flow of narration.
