I [STRIKE]have[/STRIKE] graduated in English department from (x) university, faculty of education.

Please, correct my using of prepositions - using of comma - using of tense

But in the last sentence you need 'use' or 'usage' instead of 'using. ;-)

It's all right, except for the tense.

sash, you seem to mean

'I graduated in English from the Faculty of Education at X University.

Please correct my usage of prepositions, the comma and the tense.'

Really?:roll:

It's all right, except for the tense.

If I may ask a related question: Why can't one say, 'I have graduated in English from University X'? Is it because the date is implied in the satement?

Thank you.

You could use it if you included some kind of timescale, or if you just graduated today. At your graduation ceremony, you could say "Hurrah! I have graduated from this university at last!"

However, in all other circumstances, after the day of your graduation, it becomes a simple fact about the past. "I graduated from University X [last week/last month/in 1996 etc]".

Thanks alot

Are these words have to be capitalized?

 

[emsr2d2]

Are[/STRIKE] Do these words have to be capitalized?

Yes. They constitute the title of a department and the proper name of a university.

 

[Rover_KE]

Thanks a lot. (There is no word 'alot'.)

Do these words have to be capitalized?

They do here:

Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, 184 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 8PQ, UK.

Congratulations on graduating in English.

Is there a good reason why you are reluctant to name the university where you achieved this feat?

[sash2008]

Thanks a lot. (There is no word 'alot'.)

Oh, of course, but it is not my mistake; it is the keyboard's.

Do these words have to be capitalized?

Oh, this is my mistake,sorry.

What do you mean Mr Rover?

 

[emsr2d2]

I believe Rover is querying why you keep putting "X University" or "University X". Why don't you tell us which university you attended?

 

[billmcd]

In the U.S. you would not hear/read that someone graduated from a department or from a faculty. Rather, one would graduate from a college/university with a major in English or with a degree in English.

 

[Barb_D]

Yes, the first time I heard someone was part of the "faculty" of English I was really confused. For us, the faculty are the people who teach you.

 

[sash2008]

I believe Rover is querying why you keep putting "X University" or "University X". Why don't you tell us which university you attended?

It doesn't matter. I am focusing on other imporant points in my question.
I could say Cairo University or whatever

 

[emsr2d2]

Perhaps we are wondering why, having spent around three years getting a degree at this unnamed university, you never noticed that "Faculty of English, University of X" required capitalisation.

 

[sash2008]

Thank you for your wonder.

 

[BobK]

... after the day of your graduation, it becomes a simple fact about the past. "I graduated from University X [last week/last month/in 1996 etc]".

:up: It's a one-off event, 'going up a step' [gradus, Latin, = 'step']. This derivation explains why in Am. Eng. you graduate from high-school. (In Br Eng graduation has an implicit '...[from university]' - except for figurative uses like 'After dabbling with marihuana in his college days he graduated to cocaine'.)
