Three blunders you commit with ‘out of bound’


This is the fact that the expression is ‘out of bounds’, not out of bound’. In other words, it is compulsory to add ’s’ to ‘bound’ because it is a fixed expression:I learnt that the room is out of bound to visitors. (Correct)But note that ‘bound’ will be right in some other contexts:He is bounds to go there tomorrow. The second error you make with ‘out of bound’ is a rather funny but very popular one. So, while you have something like baNd in the pronunciation of ‘band’, you should have something like bAAUNd in ‘bound’.
