Common mistakes

Not natural: The new app enabled me finish the form.

Better: The new app enabled me to finish the form.

Use enable someone to do something; the infinitive needs to before the verb.

Enable के बाद व्यक्ति और फिर to + verb आता है; यहाँ finish से पहले to ज़रूरी है।

Not natural: The update enabled to users share files.

Better: The update enabled users to share files.

Put the person directly after enabled, then use to before the action.

Enabled के तुरंत बाद users आएगा, फिर काम बताने के लिए to share इस्तेमाल होगा।
