I belong to a country where English is used as a second language, so it is not my first language. A few days ago I appeared in an interview for the post of English Teacher. I want to share a few points of that interview for your worthy comments.

I use A for interviewer and B for myself.

   After the formal greetings,

       A:   Introduce yourself.

       B.  Sir, I have come from Swabi…..

1.  Don’t say “I have come from” say “I come from”

    Then I was asked some questions in English Literature and then,

1. How many moods are there in English Grammar?
2. Sir, there are three moods in English grammar, Indicative, imperative and subjunctive.

1. Can we use Model auxiliary with infinite clause.
2. Yes sir, we can.

1. How? Give an example.
2.  For example “I will go”

1. What is an infinite clause?
2. A clause, which doesn’t show tense.

1. No. You are wrong.

1. Ok, tell my in how many ways can we use a subordinate clause?
2. Well sir, there are different kinds of subordinate clause…

1. No, no. Just tell me exactly in how many ways can we use it, like with subject-verb, subject-adverb etc.
2. Sorry sir.(it was really confusing for me.)

A.     Ok, “He is married” which part of speech is married?

B.     Sir, it the past participle form of the verb marry and here it is used as an adjective.
