§Grammar and usage

The final s is silent in the singular, so precis is said like 'pray-see'.

Singular का आखिरी s नहीं बोला जाता, इसलिए precis को 'प्रे-सी' बोलते हैं।

Usage: precis writing is a standard descriptive-paper task in which a passage is reduced to about one third of its length.

Usage में precis writing descriptive paper का एक आम प्रश्न है, जिसमें passage को उसकी लंबाई के लगभग एक-तिहाई तक छोटा किया जाता है।
