Formality involves following the rules.

*Capitalize May.

*Either say “the Fifteenth of May” or “May 15, 2007,” but do not at the “th” to the date.

*Spell-check “approaches.”

*Your original has an unclear antecedent. Is the current seminar “Approaches….” or were the previous seminars entitled “Approaches….”? Making the sentence formal and correct will depend on the answer.

* More than one “formal and correct” phrasing is possible. How to phrase the sentence depends on what point you want to make. Is your point that the seminars were May 15? Then put that first. If the point is that ORA held the seminars, then put that first.

— The May 15, 2007 ORA seminar entitled “Approaches to….” was about the previous economic seminars.

— ORA held a seminar entitled “Approaches to…” on May 15, 2007, about previous economic seminars. (Emphasis now on who, not when)

— ORA held a seminar on May 15, 2007 about previous economic seminars entitled “Approaches to….”

If you can read it out loud without stumbling, it is probably going to be okay. If someone else can cold read it and then explain it to you accurately, it is reasonably well written.

The sentences that are formal and correct are: – We have been working since 2007 until now. – We have been working since 2007 up until now. They are both correct and either could be used. The one I think would be best to use is: – We have been working since 2007 up until now. The first one is definitely not correct, which makes it informal. Just because certain words like ’till’ are formal, it doesn’t mean that using that word will make a sentence formal. Hope this helped!!!

capitalize May

comma after 2007

make more clear if the May 15 seminar is called “Approaches to…” or if the previous seminars have this title

I would use On may 15th, 2007 ORA held a convention about…. just not to repeat seminar.

also approches is written approaches.

other than that i think it is quite ok.
