Dear all,
This is not my homework.
I have come to know that if I write - "He is an English teacher.", it tells me about the nationality of the teacher rather than the subject taught by him. I also come to know that if I want to tell that the person whom I am talking about teaches English, then I should write:- "He is the teacher of English".
Therefore following should be true:-
"He is a Russian teacher" means the teacher is Russian in origin.
"He is a Japanese teacher" means the teacher is Japanese in origin.
So the question is, will the same logic work in the sentence given below also?
"He is an Urdu teacher."
Does the above sentence mean that the teacher is the Muslim or it means the teacher teaches Urdu?
Is the question mark in above sentence correctly used?
