!Common mistakes 3
✗ My room is more tidier than yours.
✓ My room is tidier than yours.
Tidy is a short adjective, so it forms the comparative with -er; do not add more as well.
'Tidy' छोटा adjective है, इसलिए comparative '-er' से बनता है; उसके साथ 'more' भी लगाना गलत है।
✗ Please tidy up it before the guests come.
✓ Please tidy it up before the guests come.
A pronoun object must go between the verb and the particle.
Pronoun object को verb और particle के बीच आना चाहिए, इसलिए 'tidy it up' सही है।
✗ My brother always keeps his room tidily.
✓ My brother always keeps his room tidy.
After keep, use the adjective tidy for the state of the object, not the adverb tidily.
'Keep' के बाद वस्तु की अवस्था बताने के लिए adjective 'tidy' आता है, adverb 'tidily' नहीं।
