Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose "No error".
A thousand years ago, boys and girls did not learnt to read.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. not learnt to read
Not learnt to read contains an error. The word "learnt" is not appropriate here since it should come after "did not" in the basic form "learn."
Compared to other options:
"A thousand years ago": The phrase "a thousand years ago" is grammatically correct. It has no errors and establishes the time limit for the action that is described.
"Boys and girls did": This is also correct. Here, "did" is the correct auxiliary verb in the past tense.
