Subject: Introducing Yourself to Your Instructor

Introduction
My name is Amit Vaidya. I am from India. I am in my first semester of Civil Engineering at
Clemson University. In this memo, I am going to tell you little bit about my background,
interests, achievements and my goals.
Background
I was born in a small village called Bilimora. Bilimora is located about 70 kilometers south
of the city of Surat which is 8th largest city in India, in the state of Gujarat. I spent my first
16 years of life in Bilimora. Bilimora is famous for temples and textile mills.
My everyday activities included going to school, playing cricket, watching television, and
going to temple at the night time.

Interests
I like playing Chess and Cricket. I always enjoyed reading, writing and doing math. Growing
up as a child and until now, (my adulthood) it has been mine (my) and my parents dream for
me to become a Doctor or an Engineer.
Achievements:
I have achieved many different goals in life. Some of my achievements are bigger than the
others, which has given me greater satisfaction. My achievements have helped me to get
ahead in life
Goals
I hope to get better at technical communication this term. Five years from now, I want to
become a project manager of a construction project, and technical communication is one of
the most important skills that a project manager should have. As a project manager, my
primary goals are managing people, set budgets, and making decisions of all kinds.

Pronouns

Pronouns replace nouns. A different pronoun is required depending on two elements: the noun
being replaced and the function that noun has in the sentence. In English, pronouns only take the
gender of the noun they replace in the 3rd person singular form. The 2nd person plural pronouns
are identical to the 2nd person singular pronouns except for the reflexive pronoun.

Subject Object Possessive Possessive Reflexive or

3rd person they them their theirs themselves

Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns replace nouns that are the subject of their clause. In the 3rd person, subject
pronouns are often used to avoid repetition of the subject's name.

Examples

• I am 16.
• You seem lost.
• Jim is angry, and he wants Sally to apologize.
• This table is old. It needs to be repainted.
• We aren't coming.
• They don't like pancakes.

3
Object Pronouns

Object pronouns are used to replace nouns that are the direct or indirect object of a clause.

Examples

• Give the book to me.

• The teacher wants to talk to you.
• Jake is hurt because Bill hit him.
• Rachid recieved a letter from her last week.
• Mark can't find it.
• Don't be angry with us.
• Tell them to hurry up!

Possessive Adjectives (Determiners)

Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but rather determiners. It is useful to learn them at the
same time as pronouns, however, because they are similar in form to the possessive pronouns.
Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so they appear before the noun they modify. They do
not replace a noun as pronouns do.

Examples

• Did mother find my shoes?

• Mrs. Baker wants to see your homework.
• Can Jake bring over his baseball cards?
• Samantha will fix her bike tomorrow.
• The cat broke its leg.
• This is our house.
• Where is their school?

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns replace possessive nouns as either the subject or the object of a clause.
Because the noun being replaced doesn't appear in the sentence, it must be clear from the context.

Examples

• This bag is mine.

• Yours is not blue.
• That bag looks like his.
• These shoes are not hers.
• That car is ours.
• Theirs is parked in the garage.

Reflexive & Intensive Pronouns

4
Reflexive and intensive pronouns are the same set of words but they have different functions in a
sentence.

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the clause because the subject of the action is also
the direct or indirect object. Only certain types of verbs can be reflexive. You cannot remove a
reflexive pronoun from a sentence because the remaining sentence would be grammatically
incorrect.

Examples

• I told myself to calm down.

• You cut yourself on this nail?
• He hurt himself on the stairs.
• She found herself in a dangerous part of town.
• The cat threw itself under my car!
• We blame ourselves for the fire.
• The children can take care of themselves.

Intensive pronouns emphasize the subject of a clause. They are not the object of the action. The
intensive pronoun can always be removed from a sentence without changing the meaning
significantly, although the emphasis on the subject will be removed. Intensive pronouns can be
placed immediately after the subject of the clause, or at the end of the clause.

Examples

• I made these cookies myself.

• You yourself asked Jake to come.
• The Pope himself pardoned Mr. Brown.
• My teacher didn't know the answer herself.
• The test itself wasn't scary, but my teacher certainly is.
• We would like to finish the renovation before Christmas ourselves.
• They themselves told me the lost shoe wasn't a problem.

Nouns

Using nouns correctly in English is relatively simple, with standard rules and only a few
exceptions. Use these pages to learn about the English grammar rules for gender, plurals, countable
and uncountable nouns, compound nouns, capitalization, nationalities, and forming the possessive.

Nouns in English

Noun gender

Nouns answer the questions "What is it?" and "Who is it?" They give names to things, people,
and places.

Examples

• dog
• bicycle
• Mary

8
 • girl
• beauty
• France
• world

In general there is no distinction between masculine, feminine in English nouns. However, gender
is sometimes shown by different forms or different words when referring to people or animals.

Examples

Masculine Feminine Gender neutral

man woman person
father mother parent
boy girl child
uncle aunt
husband wife spouse
actor actress
prince princess
waiter waitress server
rooster hen chicken
stallion mare horse

Singular and plural nouns

Regular nouns

Most singular nouns form the plural by adding -s.

Examples

Singular Plural
boat boats
house houses
cat cats
river rivers

• A singular noun ending in s, x, z, ch, sh makes the plural by adding-es.

• Examples

Singular Plural
bus buses
wish wishes

9
Singular Plural
pitch pitches
box boxes

• A singular noun ending in a consonant and then y makes the plural by dropping the y and
adding-ies.
• Examples

Singular Plural
penny pennies
spy spies
baby babies
city cities

Countable and uncountable nouns

It's important to distinguish between countable and uncountable nouns in English because their
usage is different in regards to both determiners and verbs.

Countable nouns

Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural
form. The singular form can use the determiner "a" or "an". If you want to ask about the quantity
of a countable noun, you ask "How many?" combined with the plural countable noun.

13
Singular Plural
one dog two dogs
one horse two horses
one man two men
one idea two ideas
one shop two shops

Examples

• She has three dogs.

• I own a house.
• I would like two books please.
• How many friends do you have?

Uncountable nouns

Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be the names
for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous to be
counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb. They
usually do not have a plural form.

Examples

• tea
• sugar
• water
• air
• rice
• knowledge
• beauty
• anger
• fear
• love
• money
• research
• safety
• evidence

We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable noun, use a word
or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of , or else use an exact measurement
like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to
ask about the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask "How much?"

Examples

14
 • There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.
• He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.
• Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?
• He did not have much sugar left.
• Measure 1 cup of water, 300g of flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• How much rice do you want?

Verbs

What is a verb?

Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Along with nouns,
verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place. In fact,
without a verb, full thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the simplest sentences, such as
Maria sings, have one. Actually, a verb can be a sentence by itself, with the subject, in most case
you, implied, such as, Sing! and Drive!

How to Recognize a Verb

As you can see from the examples above, one clue to help you recognize a verb is its location
compared to the subject. Verbs almost always come after a noun or pronoun. These nouns and
pronouns are referred to as the subject. The verb thought comes after the noun Jack, so the action
Jack (subject) was taking was thinking (verb).

• Mark eats his dinner quickly.

• We went to the market.
• You write neatly in your notebook.
• They thought about all the prizes in the competition.

Here are some other ways to recognize verbs in a sentence:

• If you’re not sure if a word is a verb, ask yourself, “Can I do ______?”

Can I think, wonder, walk, yawn? Yes, so these are verbs.

• You can also ask, ”What is happening?”

In the sentence Mark eats his dinner quickly, what is happening? Eating is happening, so eating is
the verb.

In the sentence They thought about all the prizes what is happening? Thought (thinking) is
happening, so thought is the verb.

Physical Verbs – Definition and Examples

Physical verbs are action verbs. They describe specific physical actions. If you can create a motion
with your body or use a tool to complete an action, the word you use to describe it is most likely a

16
physical verb. For example, Joe sat in his chair, the dog breathes quickly after she chases her ball,
and should we vote in the election? Even when the action isn’t very active, if the action is done by
the body or a tool, consider it a physical verb.

Physical Verb Examples

The physical verb examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

• Let’s run to the corner and back.

• I hear the train coming.
• Call me when you’re finished with class.

Mental Verbs – Definition and Examples

Mental verbs have meanings that are related to concepts such as discovering, understanding,
thinking, or planning. In general, a mental verb refers to a cognitive state.

Mental Verb Examples

• I know the answer.

• She recognized me from across the room.
• Do you believe everything people tell you?

States of Being Verbs – Definition and Examples

Also known as linking verbs, state of being verbs describe conditions or situations that exist. State
of being verbs are inactive since no action is being performed. These verbs, forms of to be, such
as am, is, are, are usually complemented by adjectives.

States of Being Verb Examples

The state of being verbs in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

• I am a student.
• We are circus performers.
• Please is quiet.

17
• 1. I ___________ about a yellow unicorn last night.

Preposition

What is a preposition?

A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence.
They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence. Prepositions are usually
short words, and they are normally placed directly in front of nouns. In some cases, you’ll find
prepositions in front of gerund verbs.

Types of Prepositions

There are three types of prepositions, including time prepositions, place prepositions, and direction
prepositions.
Time prepositions are those such as before, after, during, and until; place prepositions are those
indicating position, such as around, between, and against; and direction prepositions are those
indicative of direction, such as across, up, and down. Each type of preposition is important.
Type of Prepositions

Prepositions of Time
Basic examples of time prepositions include: at, on, in, before and after. They are used to help
indicate when something happened, happens or will happen. It can get a little confusing though,
as many different prepositions can be used.

Prepositions of time examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

For example:

• I was born on July 4th, 1982.

• I was born in 1982.
• I was born at exactly 2am.
• I was born two minutes before my twin brother.
• I was born after the Great War ended.

The above makes it seem quite difficult, with five different prepositions used to indicate when
something happened. However, there is a set of guidelines that can help decide which preposition
to use:

For years, months, seasons, centuries and times of day, use the preposition in:

• I first met John in 1987.

• It’s always cold in January
• Easter falls in spring each year.
• The Second World War occurred in the 20th century.
19
 • We eat breakfast in the morning.

For days, dates and specific holiday days, use the preposition on.

• We go to school on Mondays, but not on Sunday

• Christmas is on December 25th.
• Buy me a present on my birthday.

For times, indicators of exception and festivals, use the preposition at:

• Families often argue at Christmas time.

• I work faster at night.
• Her shift finished at 7pm.

Before and after should be much easier to understand than the other examples of prepositions of
time. Both are used to explain when something happened, happens or will happen, but specifically
in relation to another thing.

• Before I discovered this bar, I used to go straight home after work.

• We will not leave before 3pm.
• David comes before Bryan in the line, but after Louise.

Other prepositions of time could include: During, about, around, until and throughout.

• The concert will be staged throughout the month of May.

• I learned how to ski during the holidays.
• He usually arrives around 3pm.
• It was about six in the morning when we made it to bed.
• The store is open until midnight.

Prepositions of Place

To confuse matters a bit, the most common prepositions to indicate time – on, at, in – are also the
most common prepositions to indicate position. However, the rules are a little clearer as place
prepositions are a more rigid concept than time prepositions.

Prepositions of place examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

• The cat is on the table.

• The dogs are in the kennel.
• We can meet at the crossroads.

The guidelines can be broken down as follows:

On is used when referring to something with a surface:

20
 • The sculpture hangs on the wall.
• The images are on the page.
• The specials are on the menu, which is on the table.

In is used when referring to something that is inside or within confined boundaries. This could be
anything, even a country:

• Jim is in France, visiting his aunt in the hospital.

• The whiskey is in the jar in the fridge.
• The girls play in the garden.

At is used when referring to something at a specific point:

• The boys are at the entrance at the movie theater.

• He stood at the bus stop at the corner of Water and High streets.
• We will meet at the airport.

Lot’s of other prepositions of place, such as under, over, inside, outside, above and below are used
in English. There is, however, a lot less confusion as they refer to rigid positions rather than
abstract ones.

• The cat is under the table.

• Put the sandwich over there.
• The key is locked inside the car.
• They stepped outside the house.
• Major is ranked above corporal.
• He is waving at you from below the stairs.

Using adverbs in English

Adverbs modify, or tell us more about, other words. Usually adverbs modify verbs, telling us how,
how often, when, or where something was done. The adverb is placed after the verb it modifies.

Examples

• The bus moved slowly.

• The bears ate greedily.
• The car drove fast.

23
Sometimes adverbs modify adjectives, making them stronger or weaker.

Examples

• You look absolutely fabulous!

• He is slightly overweight.
• You are very persistent.

Some types of adverbs can modify other adverbs, changing their degree or precision.

Examples

• She played the violin extremely well.

• You're speaking too quietly.

What Is a Conjunction?

A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent)
together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions--coordinating, subordinating, and
correlative--each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to bring words together.

What Is a Coordinating Conjunction?

Coordinating conjunctions are what come to most people's minds when they hear the word
"conjunction." They can join together words, phrases and independent clauses. There are seven of
them, and they're easy to remember if you can just remember FAN BOYS:

• For - Explains reason or purpose (just like "because") I go to the park every Sunday, for I
love to watch the ducks on the lake.
• And - Adds one thing to another I go to the park every Sunday to watch the ducks on the
lake and the shirtless men playing soccer.
• Nor - Used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative idea I don't
go for the fresh air nor really for the ducks. Honestly, I just like the soccer.
• But - Shows contrast The soccer in the park is entertaining in the winter, but it's better in
the heat of summer.
• Or - Presents an alternative or a choice The men play on teams: shirts or skins.
• Yet - Introduces a contrasting idea that follows the preceding idea logically (similar to
"but") I always take a book to read, yet I never seem to turn a single page.
• So - Indicates effect, result or consequence I've started dating one of the soccer players, so
now I have an excuse to watch the game each week.

24
What Is a Subordinating Conjunction?

A subordinating conjunction always introduces a dependent clause, tying it to an independent

clause. In contrast to coordinating conjunctions, a subordinate conjunction can often come first in
a sentence. This is due simply to the nature of the relationship between the dependent and the
independent clause. In English, there are lots of subordinating conjunctions, but the most common
ones are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that,"
"though," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while." Here are a few examples of how
subordinating conjunctions are used:

• "Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk" (Kelly Clarkson).
• "If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me" (Peter Cetera/Chicago).
• "When I see you smile, I can face the world" (Bad English).
• "[You] don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" (Cinderella).
• "I guess I'll never be the same since I fell for you" (B.B. King).
• "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize
there's nothing left" (Coolio).

What Are Correlative Conjunctions?

Correlative conjunctions are sort of like tag-team conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have
to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work. They include pairs like
"both/and," "whether/or," "either/or," "neither/nor," "not/but" and "not only/but also."

• I either want the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate.

• I'll have both the cheesecake and the frozen hot chocolate.
• I didn't know whether you'd want the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate, so I got you
both.
• Oh, you want neither the cheesecake nor the frozen hot chocolate? No problem.
• I'll eat them both - not only the cheesecake but also the frozen hot chocolate.
• I see you're in the mood not for dessert but appetizers. I'll help you with those too.

INTERJECTION

The interjection is a part of speech which is more commonly used in informal language than in
formal writing or speech. Basically, the function of interjections is to express emotions or sudden
bursts of feelings. They can express a wide variety of emotions such as: excitement, joy, surprise,
or disgust.

Interjections can come in the form of a single word, a phrase, or even a short clause. Aside from
that, they are usually (but not always) placed at the beginning of a sentence. The importance of

25
interjections lies in the fact that they can convey feelings that may sometimes be neglected in the
sentence.

Take for example, the sentence “That book is about vampires.”

One person can write it as:

• That book is about vampires.

But then again, another person might use an interjection to show the same feeling of disgust (as
in sentence number 2):

• Eww! That book is about vampires.

So you see from the sentence above that the word “eww” conveys the emotional response to
what is said in the sentence. It can act as a replacement for emoticons and are more appropriate
to use in writing, especially in character dialogues.

What are the Different Kinds of Interjections?

Below are the different kinds of interjections:

• Adjectives that are used as interjections.

Examples:

• Nice! You got a Monster Kill in your first game!

• Sweet! I got a PS4 for my birthday!
• Good! Now we can move on to the next lesson.

The italicized words in the sample sentences above are just some of the adjectives that can be
used as interjections.

• Nouns or noun phrases that are used as interjections.

Examples:

• Congratulations, you won the match.

• Hello! How are you?
• Holy cow! I forgot my keys!

The italicized parts of the sentences above are just some of the nouns that can be used as
interjections.

• Short clauses that are used as interjections.

26
Example:

A. Shawie is our chemistry teacher. Oh, the horror!

The short clause that is italicized in the example above functions as an interjection.

A. Some interjections are sounds.

Examples:

A. Ugh! I’m never doing that again!

B. Whew! That was really close!
C. Uh-oh! Dude, I think we’re in serious trouble.

How do You Punctuate Interjections?

Since interjections convey different kinds of emotions, there are also different ways to punctuate
them.

A. Exclamation point

The exclamation point is the most commonly used punctuation mark for interjections. Obviously,
it is used to communicate strong emotions such as surprise, excitement, or anger.

Examples:

A. I just replaced your sugar with salt. Bazinga!

B. Hooray! I got the job!
C. Hey! Stop messing with me!
D. Ouch! That must’ve hurt really bad!
E. Oh! They’re here!
F. Boo-yah! This is the bomb!
G. Are you still going to eat that? Yuck!
H. Yahoo! I got my Christmas bonus!
I. Eek! There’s a flying cockroach!

A. Period or comma

For weaker emotions, a period or a comma will suffice.

Examples:

A. What’s the answer to number 24?

B. Meh, who cares?
C. Ah, that feels great!
D. Oh well, what’s done is done.

27
 E. Well, what did your mom say?
F. Um… I don’t think so.
G. Hmm, your house always smells like freshly brewed coffee.

A. Question mark

If you intend to use interjections to express uncertainty or disbelief, it is more appropriate to use
a question mark.
