Back to paper

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

Have I ever told you what lovely pickles my grandmother used to made when she was in Visakhapatnam?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. used to made.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Infinitive".
  2. We need to replace "Made" with "Make" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • "To + v1" is called the infinitive form of the verb.
  • If more than one verbs are used for a singular verb we need to keep the other verbs in "infinitive form".
  • So, "made" will be replaced with "make".
  • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

Have I ever told you what lovely pickles my grandmother used to make when she was in Visakhapatnam?
