!Common mistakes 3

✗ He exhaled out the smoke.

✓ He exhaled the smoke.

Exhale already means to breathe out, so out is unnecessary.

'Exhale' का अर्थ पहले से ही साँस बाहर छोड़ना है, इसलिए 'out' अनावश्यक है।

✗ We exhale oxygen and inhale carbon dioxide.

✓ We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

The two verbs are reversed: inhale means breathe in, exhale means breathe out.

दोनों क्रियाएँ उलट गई हैं: 'inhale' साँस लेना और 'exhale' साँस छोड़ना है।

✗ Exhale from your mouth slowly.

✓ Exhale slowly through your mouth.

The passage the breath goes through takes through, not from.

जिस मार्ग से साँस निकले उसके लिए 'through' आता है, 'from' नहीं।
