Common mistakes

Not natural: I am amaze by her singing.

Better: I am amazed by her singing.

Use the adjective amazed after am to describe how you feel.

अपनी भावना बताने के लिए am के बाद amazed कहें, amaze नहीं।

Not natural: The result amazed to me.

Better: The result amazed me.

Amaze takes the surprised person directly as its object, without to.

Amaze के बाद हैरान होने वाले व्यक्ति को सीधे object बनाते हैं; to नहीं लगाते।
