Common mistakes

Not natural: I discussed the problem to my coworker.

Better: I discussed the problem with my coworker.

Use discuss something with someone, not discuss something to someone.

Discuss के बाद बात या समस्या आती है, और व्यक्ति से बात करने के लिए with इस्तेमाल होता है।

Not natural: I told to my coworker about the delay.

Better: I told my coworker about the delay.

Tell takes the person directly; do not add to before the person.

Tell के बाद व्यक्ति सीधे आता है; व्यक्ति से पहले to लगाने की ज़रूरत नहीं होती।

Learner tip

A coworker is someone you work with; the word does not necessarily mean you are friends or on the same team.

Coworker वह है जिसके साथ आप काम करते हैं; इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि आप दोस्त हों या एक ही टीम में हों।
