Back to paper

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

Soni take her daughter to the park in the evening in a stroller.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Soni take her daughter.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject-verb agreement".
  2. We need to replace "Take" with "Takes" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

  • The subject of the given statement is "Soni" which is singular hence, we need to use a singular verb here.

  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

Soni takes her daughter to the park in the evening in a stroller.
