Common mistakes
Not natural: They are founder of a new app.
Better: They are the founders of a new app.
Use an article before a singular countable noun, or use the plural founders for more than one person.
Founder एक गिनने योग्य singular noun है, इसलिए उसके पहले article चाहिए; एक से ज़्यादा लोग हों तो founders कहें।
Not natural: She founded of the charity in 2018.
Better: She founded the charity in 2018.
As a verb, found takes the organization directly; it is not followed by of.
Verb के रूप में found के बाद संगठन का नाम सीधे आता है; उसके पहले of नहीं लगाते।

Learner tip
Founder names the person; found is the verb meaning to start an organization. Do not confuse it with found meaning “discover.”
Founder व्यक्ति के लिए है; found का मतलब संगठन शुरू करना है। इसे found यानी “किसी चीज़ का मिलना” से न मिलाएँ।
