§Grammar and usage

Ablaze, like afraid, alive, asleep, awake and alone, is used only after a verb ('The house was ablaze'), not before a noun ('a burning house', not 'an ablaze house').

अक्सर पूछा जाता है: ablaze, afraid, alive, asleep, awake और alone की तरह, केवल verb के बाद आता है ('The house was ablaze'), noun से पहले नहीं ('a burning house', 'an ablaze house' नहीं)।

Ablaze with lights, ablaze with anger.

Ablaze के साथ 'with' आता है: ablaze with lights (रोशनी से जगमगाता हुआ) और ablaze with anger (गुस्से से भड़कता हुआ)।
