My English teacher taught me to write out words such as isn't, don't, etc. in official letters, because this looks more official and neat. But how does it work when I use someone's name? For example: 'My father's name is..'. It sounds incorrect to write 'my father his name is...' Is there an alterntive for 'my father's name'? Or is this the correct way to write, even in official letters?
