!Common mistakes 3
✗ I secured 80 marks from 100.
✓ I secured 80 marks out of 100.
Marks are given out of a total; from is wrong here.
कुल अंकों में से प्राप्त अंकों के लिए 'out of' आता है, 'from' नहीं।
✗ I feel myself very secured in this city.
✓ I feel very secure in this city.
Secure is already an adjective, so the form secured is wrong here, and feel does not need myself.
'Secure' स्वयं adjective है, इसलिए यहाँ 'secured' ग़लत है, और 'feel' के साथ 'myself' की आवश्यकता नहीं।
✗ Secure your documents with theft.
✓ Secure your documents against theft.
Use against for the danger you protect something from.
