reasons why?

Post by theminimima »

Hello,

I would like to know if the title is correct in this case:

5 reasons why you've been discarded by him

OR

5 reasons you've been discarded by him

Thanks

b) 5 reasons you've been discarded by him
Both are possible/"correct".

a) is formal
b) is informal
