Common mistakes
Not natural: The nurse revived the patient back to consciousness.
Better: The nurse revived the patient.
Revive already means to bring someone back to life or consciousness, so back is redundant.
Revive का मतलब ही किसी को होश या जीवन में वापस लाना है, इसलिए इसके साथ back कहना दोहराव है।
Not natural: The old festival revived again last year.
Better: The old festival was revived last year.
Organizers brought the festival back, so the passive form was revived is more natural.
आयोजकों ने त्योहार को फिर से शुरू किया, इसलिए यहाँ passive रूप was revived ज़्यादा स्वाभाविक है।
