Back to paper

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

There will probably be a lot of fish in their nets, will there?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. will there.

  • The error in this sentence is related to the question tag.
  • The sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.
  • In this case, since the statement is positive, so, we will use a negative question tag.
  • The use of ‘will’ is incorrect and “won’t” should be used in its place.
  • Thus, the correct sentence would be: There will probably be a lot of fish in their nets, won’t there?
