Yes, you can. And yes, your teacher can tell you it's wrong and deduct points for doing so.
Helpful hint: if you want a good grade, write your sentences the way your teacher tells you to, even if your teacher tries to use stupid, outdated rules like "don't start sentences with 'because'" or "Never split infinitives" or "Never end a sentence with a proposition".
Because even if this is the sort of arrant (arrogant? errant?) nonsense up with which you will not put, earning a good grade may require you to cheerfully pretend the rules make sense.
ANS2:Believe it or not, those rules that the teacher is pushing, in most cases, define "Standard English." If you choose to ignore those rules you will be using non-standard English. Using non-standard English in a business situation is like ignoring etiquette at the table. You will eat, but people will form a negative opinion of you. Go ahead, do what makes you feel good. Gimme the catchup, dude.
