!Common mistakes 3
✗ He is a professional cricketer player.
✓ He is a professional cricketer.
Cricketer already means a player, so adding player is redundant.
'Cricketer' का अर्थ ही खिलाड़ी है, इसलिए 'player' जोड़ना अनावश्यक है।
✗ She is expert in professionally matters.
✓ She is an expert in professional matters.
Before a noun use the adjective professional, not the adverb professionally; expert also needs a.
Noun से पहले adjective 'professional' आता है, adverb 'professionally' नहीं; 'expert' से पहले 'an' भी चाहिए।
✗ He behaved very professionally with her.
✓ He behaved very professionally towards her.
Behave towards a person is the preferred form for conduct directed at someone.
किसी व्यक्ति के प्रति आचरण के लिए 'behave towards' अधिक उचित रूप है।
