Common mistakes
Not natural: The recipe needs three ingredient.
Better: The recipe needs three ingredients.
Ingredient is countable, so use its plural form after a number greater than one.
Ingredient गिनने योग्य noun है, इसलिए एक से ज़्यादा चीज़ों के लिए इसका plural ingredients इस्तेमाल करें।
Not natural: What ingredients does this dish consist?
Better: What ingredients does this dish consist of?
The verb consist needs the preposition of when you name the parts that make something up.
किसी चीज़ के हिस्से बताने के लिए consist के बाद of लगाना ज़रूरी है।
