!Common mistakes 2

✗ The nurse bandaged on his arm.

✓ The nurse bandaged his arm.

The verb bandage takes a direct object; no preposition follows it.

'Bandage' क्रिया के बाद सीधे object आता है; उसके बाद कोई preposition नहीं लगता।

✗ He tied a bandage in his injured hand.

✓ He tied a bandage round his injured hand.

A bandage goes round or on the injured part; 'in' is wrong here.

Bandage घायल अंग के चारों ओर ('round') या उस पर ('on') बाँधा जाता है; यहाँ 'in' गलत है।
