ASSIST & ENTER (Explained in Hindi & English)

ASSIST (EXPLAINED IN HINDI)

यदि verb ASSIST के साथ कोई noun  है तो ‘ASSIST IN’ अथवा ‘ASSIST WITH’ का use किया जाता है, लेकिन इसके बाद यदि कोई action word है  तो ‘ASSIST IN DOING’ (not TO DO) use किया जाता है; जैसे

I’ve been asked to assist him in the birthday party.
= I’ve been asked to assist him with the birthday party.

I have decided to assist in the search for the rape criminal.
= I have decided to assist with the search for the rape criminal.

INCORRECT: One of the prison guards assisted them to escape.
CORRECT: One of the prison guards assisted them in escaping. OR One of the prison guards assisted them in their escape.

ENTER (EXPLAINED IN HINDI)

ENTER = किसी स्थान में प्रवेश करने. ENTER आमतौर पर एक transitive verb होती है; अतः इसके साथ किसी object का use किया जाना आवश्यक होता है, किसी preposition  TO, INTO, IN आदि का नहीं; जैसे

INCORRECT: They entered into the building through the front door.
CORRECT: They entered the building through the front door.

INCORRECT: After entering into university, students make a lot of new friends.
CORRECT: After entering university, students make a lot of new friends.

INCORRECT: In the past it was unthinkable that a woman could enter in politics.
CORRECT: In the past it was unthinkable that a woman could enter politics.

NOTE-I: Phrasal verb ENTER INTO से इसमें शंका में पड़ने की जरूत नहीं है क्योंकि इसका अर्थ ही एकदम अलग होता है. इसका अर्थ है किसी के साथ कोई समझोता (agreement) करना, अनुबंध (contract) करना, आदि; जैसे

Today, eighteen-year old are considered responsible enough to enter into contracts.

NOTE-II: Verb ENTER को बिना किसी object के भी use किया जा सकता है; जैसे

They stopped talking as soon as they saw Sunita enter.
