Tone

Tone refers to the attitude or emotional quality expressed through writing or speech. It conveys how the speaker or writer feels about the subject and influences how the audience perceives the message. Tone can be formal, casual, serious, humorous, friendly, or respectful, among others. It is shaped by word choice, sentence structure, and overall style. Understanding tone helps readers interpret the true meaning and emotional context behind the words, making communication more effective and appropriate for different situations.
