!Common mistakes 3

✗ I appreciate you for your help.

✓ I appreciate your help.

Appreciate takes the thing valued as object, not the person plus for.

'Appreciate' का object वह वस्तु होती है जिसकी क़द्र की जाए, व्यक्ति के साथ 'for' नहीं।

✗ I would appreciate if you help me.

✓ I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Appreciate needs it before an if-clause, and the tense is could.

If-clause से पहले 'appreciate' के साथ 'it' चाहिए, और काल 'could' होता है।

✗ Thank you, I am very appreciated.

✓ Thank you, I am very grateful.

Appreciated means valued by others; to show your own thanks use grateful.

'Appreciated' का अर्थ दूसरों द्वारा क़द्र किया गया है; अपना आभार दिखाने के लिए 'grateful' आता है।
