Formal fallacy meant-a wrong pattern of reasoning. It is a problematic invalid argument and if any argument or parlance, without having a valid logical form is known as formal fallacy.

You exist because someone acknowledges it, you acknowledge that only because you exist. An echo confirms you exist, but if no one hears the echo, do you really exist.

The two formal fallacies are: Number 1: The Fallacy of Affirming the Consequent and Number 2: The Fallacy of Denying the Antecedent. A fallacy is a mistake in reasoning, and a formal fallacy is a mistake in the form of the argument itself. I don't know exactly what they mean, but that is what they're called.
