§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
happy to-infinitive
Happy to means glad or willing to do something, and is a polite way of agreeing to a request.

- I am happy to help you with the form.
happy about / with / for
Happy about a situation, happy with a result or choice, and happy for a person who has had good fortune.

- I am happy for Radhika.
- He is not happy with his marks.
happy that-clause
A that-clause after happy explains the reason for the pleasure, and the word that may be dropped.
'Happy' के बाद that-clause प्रसन्नता का कारण बताता है, और 'that' छोड़ा जा सकता है।

Before a noun, happy often forms greetings and describes things that bring joy: a happy ending, Happy Diwali.

!Common mistakes 3
✗ I am happy for your help.
✓ I am happy about your help.
Happy for is used for a person's good luck; for something done by someone use happy about or thankful for.
'Happy for' व्यक्ति के सौभाग्य के लिए आता है; किसी की सहायता के लिए 'happy about' या 'thankful for' लिखें।
✗ She was very happiness.
✓ She was very happy.
After be and very, an adjective is needed, so happy is correct and happiness is a noun.
Be और very के बाद adjective चाहिए, इसलिए 'happy' सही है; 'happiness' noun है।
✗ I am feeling happy to meet you.
✓ I am happy to meet you.
For a polite greeting, be happy to is natural; the continuous form feeling sounds odd.
विनम्र अभिवादन के लिए 'be happy to' स्वाभाविक है; continuous रूप 'feeling' अटपटा लगता है।
