!Common mistakes 3
✗ The scientist made an experiment on the new drug.
✓ The scientist carried out an experiment on the new drug.
We conduct, carry out or perform an experiment; we do not 'make' one.
प्रयोग 'conduct', 'carry out' या 'perform' किया जाता है; उसके साथ 'make' का प्रयोग अशुद्ध है।
✗ He experimented about new methods.
✓ He experimented with new methods.
Use 'with' for the thing you try out, not 'about'.
जिस चीज़ को आज़माया जाए उसके लिए 'with' लगता है, 'about' नहीं।
✗ The experiment was succeeded.
✓ The experiment succeeded.
Succeed is an intransitive verb here, so it is not used in the passive. The adjective is successful.
यहाँ 'succeed' अकर्मक क्रिया है, इसलिए इसका passive नहीं बनता; adjective 'successful' है।
