SSC GD Const (English) - 21 Feb 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q14

Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

In the afternoon we walk in the Parks, / and I wondered who shod all the horses there, / and wished Joe did.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. In the afternoon we walk in the Parks.

The sentence talks in past tense which means actions have already taken place.

"We walk" is the wrong tense to use in this segment.

Past continuous tense (we were walking) is used here to describe actions that were happening in the past and were still ongoing when another event occurred.

Hence, the correct sentence will be: In the afternoon we were walking in the Parks, and I wondered who shod all the horses there, and wished Joe did.
