Common mistakes

Not natural: The experiment yielded to interesting results.

Better: The experiment yielded interesting results.

When yield means produce, it takes a direct object; do not add “to.”

यहाँ yield का मतलब “पैदा करना” है, इसलिए इसके बाद सीधा object आता है; “to” नहीं।

Not natural: This investment yield a good return.

Better: This investment yields a good return.

Use “yields” with the singular subject “investment” in the present simple.

Learner tip

For results or products, use yield + a direct object; “yield to” usually means give way or surrender.

परिणाम या उत्पाद के लिए yield के बाद सीधा object रखें; “yield to” का मतलब अक्सर झुकना या हार मानना होता है।
