Find the incorrect part of the sentence:
He told to me about the incident.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: to me
Explanation:
• The verb told is transitive and directly takes an indirect object (person spoken to) without the preposition to.
• Therefore, using to me after 'told' is grammatically incorrect. It should simply be me.
• Alternatively, said to me is correct, but told to me is wrong.
Correct Sentence: He told me about the incident.
Quick Tip: Remember: said to + person = told + person. Never use 'to' after 'told'.
