❓ She has always been slightly jealous ___ her sister's success.
💡 Answer & explanation
✅ of
In English, the adjective 'jealous' is followed by the preposition 'of'. You are jealous 'of' someone or something. Using 'about' or 'from' is a common mistake because they often directly translate from other languages. Example: 'Why are you so jealous of his new car?'

در زبان انگلیسی، صفت 'jealous' (حسود) همیشه با حرف اضافه 'of' میآید. استفاده از 'about' یا 'from' یک اشتباه رایج است زیرا زبانآموزان معمولاً آن را مستقیماً از زبان مادری خود (مثلاً حسادت به یا نسبت به) ترجمه میکنند. مثال: چرا اینقدر به ماشین جدید او حسودی میکنی؟

❓ Which sentence is correct?
💡 Answer & explanation
✅ I understand the question now.
The correct sentence is 'I understand the question now.' The verb 'understand' is a state verb, which describes a state rather than an action. State verbs are not typically used in the continuous form (-ing), so 'I am understanding' is incorrect even when talking about right now. 'I understands' is incorrect because we only add 's' for the third person singular (he, she, it). Example: 'I know the answer' (NOT 'I am knowing the answer').

جمله صحیح «I understand the question now» است. فعل «understand» یک فعل حالتی (State verb) است که وضعیت را توصیف میکند نه یک عمل فیزیکی را. افعال حالتی معمولاً در حالت استمراری (ing) استفاده نمیشوند، بنابراین «I am understanding» حتی برای زمان حال حاضر نیز اشتباه است. «I understands» غلط است چون پسوند s فقط برای سوم شخص مفرد (he, she, it) میآید. مثال: I know the answer (و نه I am knowing).

❓ I am really looking forward ___ you next week!
💡 Answer & explanation
✅ to seeing
The phrase 'look forward to' ends with 'to', which acts as a preposition here, not an infinitive marker. Therefore, any verb that follows must be in the gerund form (-ing). Choosing 'to see' is a very common mistake. Example: 'We look forward to hearing from you soon.'

در عبارت 'look forward to' (مشتاقانه منتظر چیزی بودن)، کلمه 'to' در اینجا یک حرف اضافه است، نه نشانه مصدر. بنابراین فعلی که بعد از آن میآید باید حتماً به صورت gerund (دارای ing) باشد. گزینه 'to see' یک اشتباه بسیار رایج است. مثال: ما مشتاقانه منتظر شنیدن خبر از شما هستیم.

❓ My new car is ___ than my old one.
💡 Answer & explanation
✅ faster
We use comparative adjectives + 'than' to compare two things. For short, one-syllable adjectives like 'fast', we add '-er' to make 'faster'. 'More fast' is incorrect because 'more' is used for long adjectives (like 'more expensive'). 'Fastest' is superlative, used for three or more things. 'As fast' needs another 'as' (as fast as) to show equality. Example: This book is better than that one.

ما برای مقایسه دو چیز از صفت تفضیلی به اضافه 'than' استفاده میکنیم. برای صفات کوتاه و یکبخشی مثل 'fast'، پسوند '-er' اضافه میکنیم تا بشود 'faster'. گزینه 'more fast' اشتباه است چون 'more' برای صفات طولانی (مثل 'more expensive') استفاده میشود. 'Fastest' عالی است و برای سه چیز یا بیشتر کاربرد دارد. 'As fast' به یک 'as' دیگر نیاز دارد تا برابری را نشان دهد. مثال: This book is better than that one.
