Common mistakes

Not natural: The technology have changed how we work.

Better: Technology has changed how we work.

When technology means the field or its use generally, it is usually uncountable and takes a singular verb.

जब technology का मतलब सामान्य रूप से तकनीक हो, तो यह आमतौर पर uncountable होती है और इसके साथ singular verb आता है।

Not natural: We discussed about the new technology.

Better: We discussed the new technology.

Discuss takes a direct object; do not add about after it.

Discuss के बाद सीधे object आता है; इसके बाद about लगाने की ज़रूरत नहीं होती।

Learner tip

Use technology for practical tools and systems, not for scientific knowledge alone; the emphasis is on how knowledge is applied.

Technology का इस्तेमाल व्यावहारिक उपकरणों और प्रणालियों के लिए करें, केवल वैज्ञानिक ज्ञान के लिए नहीं; इसमें ज्ञान के इस्तेमाल पर ज़ोर होता है।
