Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Potent यानी शक्तिशाली — potential और potent दवा याद कीजिए। Im- यानी नहीं, तो impotent यानी शक्तिहीन। बिना fund की committee कुछ नहीं कर सकती — impotent है।
Potent means powerful; think of potential and a potent medicine. Im- means not, so impotent is without power: a committee with no funds cannot act, it is impotent.
