!Common mistakes 3

✗ It is necessary to be attended the meeting.

✓ It is necessary to attend the meeting.

Use the active infinitive 'to attend'. 'To be attended' is passive and does not fit here.

Active infinitive 'to attend' का प्रयोग कीजिए। 'To be attended' passive है और यहाँ उपयुक्त नहीं।

✗ Is it necessary that I will go there?

✓ Is it necessary that I go there? / Is it necessary for me to go there?

After 'necessary that', the future tense is not used. Use the base form or the 'for ... to' pattern.

'Necessary that' के बाद future tense नहीं आता। Base form या 'for ... to' pattern का प्रयोग कीजिए।

✗ It is must to study every day.

✓ It is necessary to study every day.

'Must' is a modal verb, not an adjective. After 'it is', use 'necessary'.

'Must' modal verb है, adjective नहीं। 'It is' के बाद 'necessary' आता है।
