Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Reign में silent g छिपा है — king के अंत वाला g सोचिए। राजा का reign = वह समय जब वह शासन करता है, जैसे 'during the reign of the queen'।

Reign hides a silent 'g' — think of the 'g' at the end of king. A king's reign is the period during which he rules, as in 'during the reign of the queen'.

Exam note

Reign noun (शासनकाल) और verb (शासन करना) दोनों है; regal और royal से जुड़ा है। इसे rein (लगाम) से confuse मत कीजिए।

Reign is both a noun (the period of rule) and a verb (to rule); it is linked with regal and royal. Do not confuse it with rein, the strap that controls a horse.
