Common mistakes
Not natural: Heavy rain caused a landslide to happen near the village.
Better: Heavy rain caused a landslide near the village.
“Caused a landslide” already expresses the event; adding “to happen” is redundant.
“Caused a landslide” से घटना पहले ही स्पष्ट है; “to happen” जोड़ना दोहराव है।
Not natural: Several landslide blocked the road.
Better: Several landslides blocked the road.
Use the plural form “landslides” after “several.”
“Several” के बाद एक से ज़्यादा चीज़ों का plural रूप चाहिए: “landslides।”
