§Structures (grammar patterns) 5

talented + noun

Before a noun, talented describes people who have natural ability: a talented singer, a talented footballer.

Noun से पहले 'talented' स्वाभाविक योग्यता वाले व्यक्तियों को बताता है: talented singer, talented footballer।

  • Radhika is a talented painter.
  • The school has many talented young cricketers.

talented at / in + noun or -ing

Use at or in plus a noun or -ing form to name the field; a to-infinitive does not follow talented.

क्षेत्र बताने के लिए 'at' या 'in' के बाद noun या -ing रूप आता है; 'talented' के बाद to-infinitive नहीं आता।

  • He is talented at drawing.
  • She is talented in music and sport.

talented (adjective) vs talent (noun)

Talented is the adjective; talent is the noun, so write a talented girl or a girl of talent, never a talent girl or talentful.

'Talented' adjective है; 'talent' noun है, इसलिए 'a talented girl' या 'a girl of talent' लिखें, 'a talent girl' या 'talentful' नहीं।

  • She is a girl of great talent.
  • He is a highly talented boy.

the talented (plural noun)

With the, talented can refer to a group: the talented, taking a plural verb.

'The' के साथ 'talented' एक समूह को बता सकता है: the talented, जिसके साथ plural verb आती है।

  • The talented are often noticed early.

more talented / most talented

Talented has three syllables, so it forms the comparative with more and most.

'Talented' में तीन syllables हैं, इसलिए comparative और superlative में more और most लगते हैं।

  • Radhika is more talented than she believes.
