Identify the segment in the given sentence which contains the grammatical error.

You had better not to try and feed the animals in the zoo, it is forbidden.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. You had better not to try.

  1. The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Form of the verb".
  2. We need to replace "To try" with "Try" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • "Had + better" is followed by the first form of the verb.
  • We had better wear face masks when we travel to protect against flu viruses. 
  • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

You had better not try and feed the animals in the zoo, it is forbidden.
