 Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
My friends are gone on a trip to Goa today.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e.  are gone.

  • The above sentence is in present tense.
  • In present tense, the past participle form of the verb i.e. 'gone' in this case can't be used.
