!Common mistakes 3
✗ I bought a new car yesterday which is of red colour.
✓ I bought a new red car yesterday.
Use the colour adjective directly before the noun; 'of red colour' is wordy and unnatural.
Colour adjective को सीधे संज्ञा से पहले रखें; 'of red colour' अनावश्यक रूप से लंबा और अस्वाभाविक है।
✗ He is a new to the job.
✓ He is new to the job.
After be, new is used without an article because it is a predicate adjective.
Be के बाद 'new' predicate adjective होता है, इसलिए उससे पहले article नहीं आता।
✗ What is the news in your family?
✓ What is new in your family?
News means reports about events; to ask what has changed, use what is new.
'News' का अर्थ घटनाओं की सूचना है; क्या बदला है यह पूछने के लिए 'what is new' लिखा जाता है।
