Example Sentences and Phrases Related to English Professions

Within the subject of professions, not only the profession but also certain patterns in the sentence should be learned. Occupations in the sentence take different prepositions according to the job, place of work or city.

It is worth mentioning beforehand the use of a and an, which are expressed as indefinite descriptors. In the sentence, “a and an” are descriptors used before countable nouns.

If the first letter or first syllable of the name is vowel, an should be used, and if it is silent, a should be used. A and an are used with singular nouns. The word after a and an cannot be plural. It is important to make sentences by paying attention to this rule when they are used before professional nouns.

Some profession names are made by adding “-er, -ant, -ist, -ian” suffixes to the end of the verbs belonging to that profession. For example, “teach- to teach, teacher- teacher” etc.

When you are asked about your profession, it is wrong to start a sentence with "My job is". I am a student soI'm a student” should be answered.

A and an are used before professions

English Professions Subject Reinforcement Text

When you are officially accepted for a new job at a company, you are hired by the company. When you are hired, you become an employee of the company. The company becomes your employer. Other employees in the company are your colleagues or colleagues. The person above you who is responsible for your job is your boss or supervisor. We often use the phrase go to work to go to work and leave work to leave work.

E.g; “I go to work at 8:30, and I get off work at 5.”

“I go to work at 8:30 and leave at 5”

Your commute is how long it takes you to get to work by car or public transport.

For example, “I have a 20-minute commute.”

“I have a 20-minute commute.”

Some jobs allow you to work remotely. This means you can work from home or anywhere else with an internet connection and communicate with your colleagues by phone, email and videoconferencing. As an employee of the company, you earn money, that is, the money you regularly receive for your job. It is wrong to use the word "win", which means to win, while constructing the sentence here.

Wrong phrase: “win a salary”

Correct expression: “earn”

If you decide to quit your job, there are three verbs you can use:

I'm going to quit my job. - I will quit my job.

I'm going to leave my job. - I will quit my job.

I'm going to resign. - I will resign.

“Quit” is informal, “resign” is formal, and “leave” is used as a formal or informal expression.

When an elderly person decides to stop working, the de facto is to retire. In most countries, people retire around age 65. If you are older than this and have stopped working, you can define your current status as "I'm Retired". “I am retired” You can explain using the sentence.

We want to share some patterns you can use in a job interview. It's time to show them who you are and why you're a great person to work with at the English interview. Here are the adjectives that can be used in the English interview;

Easy-going: To indicate that you are an easy-going person.
Hard-working
Committed: Stable
Trustworthy: Trustworthy
Honest: Honest
Focused: Focusable
Methodical: Someone who pays attention to details.
Proactive: Able to take initiative. An active employee.

The interviewer will also want to know what you are good at. Words you can use to show your strengths and skills;

Organization
The ability to multitask – Awareness of multitasking
Perform to a deadline
Solve problems
Communicate well
Work in an international environment and with people from all over the World – International communication skills
Speak foreign languages – Foreign language skills
Enthusiasm – Passion for work, enthusiasm

Before moving on to the most used English professions meanings, we would like to share a few easy ways to memorize English words.

A popular way to memorize words is to use mnemonics, which are mental shortcuts that help you remember more complex concepts or words. To learn more words faster, a best idea is to contextualize them: Instead of writing random lists of words, try to put them in sentences. That way, you know how the word is used in real life.

Movies, TV shows, books, podcasts or songs are not only great sources for the most common words, they can also help you memorize words. Being exposed to lots of English word pronunciations will make them easier to memorize.

Everyone learns differently, so if you don't know what works for you, try as many different ways as possible or try a combination of them. Flashcards, apps, lists, games or post-its are great ways to memorize words.
