!Common mistakes 2
✗ She is sitting in the cubical near the door.
✓ She is sitting in the cubicle near the door.
The correct spelling is cubicle, ending in -cle, not -cal.
सही spelling 'cubicle' है, जो -cle पर समाप्त होती है, -cal पर नहीं।
✗ Each clerk has his own cubicles.
✓ Each clerk has his own cubicle.
After each, the noun stays singular, so the plural form is wrong here.
'Each' के बाद noun singular रहता है, इसलिए यहाँ plural रूप गलत है।
