Common mistakes

Using this noun in a sentence

• Nouns name a person, place, thing or idea. Countable nouns take a determiner and have a plural: one book, two books.
• A common noun is lowercase unless it begins a sentence; a proper noun is always capitalised.
• English normally puts the determiner before the noun — a big idea, the same rule, my old bag — so build the frame around the word before you fill in the verb.

Where this word sits in the grammar

Prepositions (beginner level)

Prepositions are often fixed with specific verbs and adjectives — learn them as phrases: "good at maths" not "good in maths".

The rules in short

• 1. Time: at (a time: at 5 o'clock), in (a period: in the morning, in June), on (a day/date: on Monday).
• 2. Place: at (a point: at the door), in (an enclosed space: in the room), on (a surface: on the table).
• 3. Movement: to, into, onto, towards, across, through.
• 4. Other: with, by, for, about, of, from.
• 5. Prepositions are fixed with certain words: interested in, afraid of, good at, depend on, listen to.

Examples from that topic

• The meeting is at 10 on Monday. — मीटिंग सोमवार को 10 बजे है।
• She is interested in music. — वह संगीत में रुचि रखती है।
