Common mistakes
Not natural: There are a creature under the table.
Better: There is a creature under the table.
Creature is a singular countable noun here, so use “is,” not “are.”
यहाँ creature एकवचन है, इसलिए इसके साथ “are” नहीं, “is” आएगा।
Not natural: The creature are looking for food.
Better: The creature is looking for food.
A singular subject takes “is”; use “are” only with plural “creatures.”
एकवचन subject के साथ “is” आता है; “are” का प्रयोग plural “creatures” के साथ करें।

Learner tip
Creature usually refers to an animal or living being; “animal” is more direct in everyday descriptions.
Creature आम तौर पर किसी जानवर या जीव के लिए आता है; रोज़मर्रा में जानवर बताने के लिए “animal” ज़्यादा सीधा है।
