§Structures (grammar patterns) 4

aboard + vehicle (preposition)

As a preposition, aboard goes directly before the vehicle: aboard the ship, train, bus or plane. No other preposition is needed.

Preposition के रूप में 'aboard' वाहन के ठीक पहले आता है: aboard the ship, train, bus या plane। किसी अन्य preposition की आवश्यकता नहीं।

  • Radhika stepped aboard the train at Nagpur.
  • There were two hundred passengers aboard the ship.

come / go / climb aboard (adverb)

Without an object, aboard is an adverb and comes after the verb: go aboard, welcome aboard.

Object के बिना 'aboard' adverb है और verb के बाद आता है: go aboard, welcome aboard।

  • The captain told everyone to come aboard.
  • Welcome aboard, ladies and gentlemen.

all aboard / aboard vs on board

All aboard is the call to passengers to get on. On board has the same meaning as aboard and is also used for joining a team or plan.

'All aboard' यात्रियों के लिए सवार होने की पुकार है। 'On board' का वही अर्थ है जो 'aboard' का है, और इसका प्रयोग टीम या योजना में शामिल होने के लिए भी होता है।

  • The conductor called out, 'All aboard!'
  • We need a good coach on board for the new team.

aboard vs board / embark

Board is a verb meaning to get on. Do not use another preposition after board; it already takes the vehicle as its object.

'Board' क्रिया है जिसका अर्थ सवार होना है। 'Board' के बाद दूसरा preposition न लगाएँ; वह वाहन को सीधे object बनाता है।

  • The passengers boarded the train at dawn.

!Common mistakes 3

✗ We went aboard on the ship.

Aboard is itself a preposition; adding on is wrong.

'Aboard' स्वयं preposition है; उसके साथ 'on' जोड़ना गलत है।

✗ The passengers boarded on the bus.

✓ The passengers boarded the bus.

Board takes the vehicle as its direct object.

'Board' का direct object वाहन होता है।

✓ Welcome aboard, sir.

Aboard is an adverb here and needs no article or in.

यहाँ 'aboard' adverb है और उसे article या 'in' नहीं चाहिए।

AaSpelling

a·board

One word (not 'abroad', which means in a foreign country).

एक शब्द ('abroad' नहीं, जिसका अर्थ विदेश में है)।

?Which word?

The aboard/abroad pair is a regular spelling trap: 'go aboard a ship' (get on it) versus 'go abroad' (to another country).

Aboard और abroad की जोड़ी नियमित spelling trap है: 'go aboard a ship' (जहाज़ पर चढ़ना) बनाम 'go abroad' (विदेश जाना)।

§Grammar and usage

Keep the a- adverbs together: aboard, ashore, afloat, aground, astray.

A- adverbs साथ याद रखिए: aboard, ashore, afloat, aground, astray।
