Common mistakes

Not natural: I completed to fill in the form.

Better: I completed the form.

Complete takes a noun as its object here; do not add “to” before the task.

यहाँ complete के बाद सीधे काम आता है; task से पहले “to” नहीं लगाते।

Not natural: Please complete in this form.

Better: Please complete this form.

Complete takes the form directly; use “fill in” if you want to keep “in.”

Complete के बाद form सीधे आता है। “In” रखना हो, तो “fill in this form” कहें।
