Use of preposition 'under' in written and Spoken English


Key Concepts and its Translation in Hindi Language

The preposition 'under' is used to show a position below something. In Hindi, it translates to 'के नीचे'. It can also indicate a state of being controlled or affected by something, like being under pressure or under the weather.

Key Mistakes

1. Confusing 'under' with 'below': While both can mean 'lower than', 'under' often implies being covered or enclosed, while 'below' is more about position.

2. Using 'under' in the wrong context: For example, saying "I am under happy" instead of "I am unhappy." Remember, 'under' is not used with emotions directly.

3. Forgetting to use 'under' when describing conditions: For instance, saying "I am pressure" instead of "I am under pressure." Always include 'under' to convey the correct meaning.
