Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Stall पर सामान जल्दी बिकता नहीं और फ्रिज होता नहीं, तो सामान ख़राब हो जाता है। याद रखिए ‘stall पर stale’ — पड़ा-पड़ा बासी हो गया।
At a roadside STALL there is no fridge, and goods that do not sell soon go bad. Remember ‘stall par stale’: food left lying on the stall becomes stale, not fresh.
Exam note
