Common mistakes

Not natural: She is lawyer.

Better: She is a lawyer.

Lawyer is a singular countable noun, so it normally needs an article such as a.

Lawyer एक गिनने योग्य एकवचन संज्ञा है, इसलिए इसके पहले आम तौर पर “a” आता है।

Not natural: I discussed about the case with my lawyer.

Better: I discussed the case with my lawyer.

Discuss takes a direct object, so do not put about between discussed and the topic.

Discuss के बाद विषय सीधे आता है; discussed और विषय के बीच about नहीं लगाते।
