Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Predecessor में 'पिछले वाले सर' सुनिए। Office में आपकी सीट पर आपसे पहले जो officer था, वही आपका predecessor; आपके बाद आने वाला successor।

Hear 'pichhle wale sir' (the previous sir) in PRE-DE-CESSOR. When you join an office, the officer who held your seat before you is your predecessor. The one who comes after you is your successor.

Exam note

Successor इसका antonym है। Ancestor (पूर्वज) और descendant (वंशज) अलग रखिए।

Successor is its antonym. Keep apart Ancestor (a forefather in the family) and Descendant (a family member who comes later).
