Common mistakes

Not natural: I read storybook to my son every night.

Better: I read a storybook to my son every night.

A singular countable noun needs an article, such as “a,” in this sentence.

यहाँ singular countable noun से पहले “a” लगाना ज़रूरी है।

Not natural: This storybook has many story.

Better: This storybook has many stories.

Use the plural “stories” after “many”; “story” changes to “stories.”

“Many” के बाद plural noun आता है; “story” का plural “stories” होता है।

Learner tip

A storybook is the book itself; a story is the narrative inside it.

Storybook पूरी किताब है; story उस किताब के अंदर की कहानी होती है।
