!Common mistakes 3
✗ The two friends embraced with each other.
✓ The two friends embraced each other.
Embrace is transitive; each other is its object.
'Embrace' सकर्मक है; each other उसका object है।
✗ Schools should embrace to new ideas.
✓ Schools should embrace new ideas.
Embrace takes a direct object with no to.
'Embrace' के बाद to के बिना direct object आता है।
✗ The mother embraced her son tightly to her chest with love.
✓ The mother held her son tightly to her chest.
Embrace already means to hold someone with love, so adding 'with love' and 'tightly to her chest' is redundant; use hold for the physical detail.
'Embrace' का अर्थ ही प्रेम से गले लगाना है, इसलिए 'with love' जोड़ना अनावश्यक है; शारीरिक विवरण के लिए 'hold' का प्रयोग करें।
