CONGRATULATION vs CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻🎉

Many of us still confuse the use of "congratulation" and "congratulations", but don't you worry.😉

👉🏻 CONGRATULATION (noun) is the act of congratulating someone.
👉🏻 CONGRATULATIONS (interjection) is what we say when we praise one's accomplishment.🎉

✅ "CONGRATULATIONS" is therefore the correct expression for praising one's accomplishment or expressing approbation.👏🏻🥳

Really enjoyable was it!🤗
