Back to paper

Identify the best way to improve the underlined part of the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘no improvement’.

I am going to see a play tomorrow evening.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. no improvement.

  1. Option 1, seeing will appear right after 'going' and two verbs in their continuous tense cannot appear consecutively in a sentence unless we use commas to express something different, unlike the given sentence..
  2. Option 2, no improvement is the correct answer as all the other given options are gramatically incorrect.
  3. Option 3, to saw is incorrect. The correct way to write it is 'to see' which denotes a present tense. 'Saw' can appear after first/second/third persons or after nouns to indicate past tense.
  4. Option 4, to seeing is wrong because only 'see' can appear after 'to'. 'Seeing' changes the tense and hence will require more parts of speech, such a verb 'be'..
