How to introduce yourself in English

Hello amigringo, how are you?

When we introduce ourselves to someone, there are some basic pieces of information we must share. They may vary a little from person to person but the same information usually repeats. Some of these might be your name, where you come from, where you live, your pronouns, your age, your profession, and so on. You may share whichever information you find basic and essencial for a first interaction.

First person introduction:

Name: I am...

            My name is...

Age: I am ... (years old)

Origin: I am... (from + place)/nationality

             I come from...

Living: I live in...

Profession: I am a/an...

             I work with...

Besides these basic sentences, you may also introduce yourself through questions and answers. In this case, it can take place like this:

First person introduction (questions):

What's your name? / Who are you?

Name: I am...

            My name is...

How old are you?

Age: I am ... (years old)

Where are you from? / Where do you come from?

Origin: I am... (from + place)/nationality

             I come from...

Where do you live?

Living: I live in...

What do you do? / What is your job? / What do you work with?

Profession: I am a/an...

             I work with...

A simple way to ask back all of these questions is by saying "How about you?" This way, you will have answers for all of the questions you have answered.

Now that you know how to introduce yourself, you can also learn how to introduce a third person. When we want to talk about someone we know, we can use the same logic, simply changing the subject and conjugation.

There are two ways to begin this introduction. One is with the person present and the other is with the person absent.

Third person introduction:

He -> masc.

She -> fem.

They -> neutral

In case of absent person:

Name: I have a ... (cat; dog; brother; sister; friend; etc). His/her/their name is ...

In case of present person:

Name: (It's optional to add the relationship with the person)

This is...  

Age: He/She is.../They are...

Origin: He/She is from.../ They are from...

Profession: He/She is a.../ They are...

He/she works with... / They work with...

Besides these basic sentencer you can also introduce another person through wuestions and answers. In this case, it can take places as following:

Third person introduction (questions):

Who is... ?

In case of absent person:

Name: I have a ... (cat; dog; brother; sister; friend; etc). His/her/their name is ...

In case of present person:

Name: (It's optional to add the relationship with the person) 

This is...  

How old is... ?

Age: He/She is.../They are...

Where is he/she from? / Where are they from?

Origin: He/She is from.../ They are from...

What does he/she do? / What do they do? / What does he/she work with? / What do they work with?

Profession: He/She is a.../ They are...

He/she works with... / They work with...
