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

He wouldn't let anyone to drive his new car.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. anyone to drive.

  1. The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of the Verb.
  2. We need to replace "to drive" with "drive" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  3. "Let" is always followed by the first form of the verb.
  4. "Let + Verb" is the correct construction.

The correct sentence will be-

He wouldn't let anyone drive his new car.
