SSC CPO Tier I - 9th December 2019 - Shift 1 • English • Q23

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

We watched the workmen to repair the tiles of the kitchen.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. To repair the tiles.

  • Verbs like watch, see, behold, make, help etc take the base form of the verb after them without 'to' i.e. they take bare infinitive after them.
  • As the sentence contains 'watched', it must take 'repair' after it not 'to repair'.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
