!Common mistakes 3
✗ She sings very beautiful.
✓ She sings very beautifully.
A word that tells how someone sings describes a verb, so it must be an adverb, not an adjective.
जो शब्द बताता है कि कोई कैसे गाता है, वह verb का वर्णन करता है; इसलिए उसे adverb होना चाहिए, adjective नहीं।
✗ The scenery were beautiful.
✓ The scenery was beautiful.
Scenery is uncountable in English even though the Hindi word 'drishya' can be counted, so it takes a singular verb.
हिंदी का 'दृश्य' गिना जा सकता है, परंतु अंग्रेज़ी में 'scenery' uncountable है, इसलिए इसके साथ singular verb आती है।
✗ She is more beautiful than all girls.
✓ She is more beautiful than all the other girls.
When a person is compared with a group, she must be left out of that group, so the word other is needed.
जब किसी व्यक्ति की तुलना समूह से की जाती है, तब उसे उस समूह से अलग रखना पड़ता है; इसलिए 'other' शब्द आवश्यक है।
