!Common mistakes 3
✗ He was promoted as a lieutenant last year.
✓ He was promoted to lieutenant last year.
Promotion to a rank takes 'to', not 'as', and no article.
पदोन्नति के लिए 'promoted to' का प्रयोग होता है, 'promoted as' का नहीं।
✗ The leutenant gave the order to march.
✓ The lieutenant gave the order to march.
The spelling is lieutenant, with 'ie' after the l.
सही वर्तनी 'lieutenant' है, जिसमें l के बाद 'ie' आता है।
✗ The lieutenant, along with his soldiers, were rescued.
✓ The lieutenant, along with his soldiers, was rescued.
'Along with' does not make the subject plural, so the verb agrees with lieutenant.
'Along with' से subject plural नहीं बनता, इसलिए verb 'lieutenant' के अनुसार singular आती है।
