भाग लेने के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: participant, contestant (प्रतियोगिता में), entrant (दौड़ या परीक्षा में भाग लेने वाला), competitor, delegate (सम्मेलन में प्रतिनिधि)।
§Grammar and usage
A participant in sth; participate in sth (not 'participate at').
Participant के बाद in आता है: a participant in sth (किसी में भाग लेने वाला)। Verb participate के साथ भी in ही आता है, इसलिए 'participate at' ग़लत है, सही रूप 'participate in' है।
