Identify the sentence with an INCORRECT use of adverb.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. She soon will finish the project.
Error concept: Error in adverb placement.
What is wrong: The adverb 'soon' is incorrectly placed before the auxiliary verb 'will'. In standard English, adverbs of time like 'soon' usually come after the auxiliary/modal verb.
Grammatical concept: Adverbs that modify the verb tense should be placed between the auxiliary verb and the main verb. Correct placement: She will soon finish the project.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Placing 'soon' before 'will' makes the sentence sound awkward and grammatically incorrect.
How to correct: Move 'soon' after 'will'.
Correction: She will soon finish the project.
Final sentence: She will soon finish the project.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
