Use of Preposition 'Before' in English

प्रस्तावना 'बिफोर' का उपयोग अंग्रेजी में


The preposition 'before' is used to indicate a time or place that comes earlier than something else. It helps us understand when events happen in relation to each other.

Key Concepts:

1. Time: We use 'before' to talk about events that happen earlier.

Example: "I eat breakfast before I go to work."
उदाहरण: "मैं काम पर जाने से पहले नाश्ता करता हूँ।"


2. Order: 'Before' can also show the order of actions.

Example: "Please wash your hands before dinner."
उदाहरण: "कृपया रात के खाने से पहले अपने हाथ धो लें।"


Usage Examples:

1. "She arrived before the meeting started."
उदाहरण: "वह बैठक शुरू होने से पहले पहुँच गई।"


2. "Finish your homework before you play."
उदाहरण: "खेलने से पहले अपना होमवर्क पूरा करो।"


Key Mistakes:

1. Confusing 'before' with 'after': Remember, 'before' means earlier, while 'after' means later.
2. Using 'before' without a clear reference: Always specify what comes before. For example, "I will call you before" is incomplete. Instead, say, "I will call you before dinner."
