Common mistakes
Not natural: We need to accelerate the project faster.
Better: We need to accelerate the project.
Accelerate already means make faster, so adding “faster” is usually redundant.
Accelerate का मतलब ही तेज़ करना है, इसलिए साथ में “faster” कहना आम तौर पर दोहराव है।
Not natural: The meeting accelerated at 3 p.m.
Better: The meeting started at 3 p.m.
Accelerate means become faster, not begin; use “start” to say when a meeting begins.
Accelerate का अर्थ तेज़ होना है, शुरू होना नहीं। मीटिंग कब शुरू हुई, यह बताने के लिए “start” कहें।
