SSC CGL 2020 PYQ — Question 104

SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q104

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

I didn’t knew you had gone to Goa for a vacation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. I didn’t knew.

  • The error lies in the option 4 due to the wrong usage of verb.
  • Whenever 'did' is used as an auxiliary verb, the main verb will be in 1st form. Therefore, in the sentence, the verb 'knew' will be replaced by 'know'.

The correct sentence will be:-

I didn't know you had gone to Goa for a vacation.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. I didn’t knew.
