Any additional tips on 事 vs 事情?

Mandarin Blueprint

As far as I see both of them in day-to-day life, the only small difference I can identify is that the full word 事情 is *slightly* more formal, and in speech, people will often abbreviate it to "事" or "事儿." In short, the differences are minor enough that you'll get a sense of it through context moving forward.
