Form, Structure and Language in paper 1

I was planning to write a paragraph for structure, language and form. However, in all my practice questions, there seems to be genuinely no way of including an in depth piece about form in my essays, which links back to the question. Will I lose marks if I don't include it, because not even my teachers have been able to give me a proper answer.

Hi!!

Form is tricky, so it's understandable to be a bit confused. I did AQA English Language last year and got a Grade 9, and I didn't talk about form at all. You can only really discuss language and structure here and your examiner will understand that and won't penalise you for it. If you're really anxious to talk about form, you could tentatively suggest what form your text the extract is from may be? So, for example, you could say "this suggests this could be taken from a tragedy" but this isn't essential at all and I certainly didn't do this.

Hope that helped, and best of luck in your exam!
