!Common mistakes 2
✗ The marks were disturbing low this year.
✓ The marks were disturbingly low this year.
An adjective such as low is modified by an adverb, so use disturbingly, not disturbing.
Adjective 'low' को modify करने के लिए adverb चाहिए, इसलिए 'disturbingly' लिखें, 'disturbing' नहीं।
✗ Disturbingly, many students was absent.
✓ Disturbingly, many students were absent.
Many students is plural, so the verb must be were.
'Many students' बहुवचन है, इसलिए verb 'were' होगा, 'was' नहीं।
