Back to paper

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

The landlady made me changing the design of the kitchen three times.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. changing.

  1. The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the Causative verb.
  2. We need to replace "changing" with "change" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  3. A causative verb "make" is always followed by the first form of the verb (infinitive without to).

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be-

The landlady made me change the design of the kitchen three times.
