Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of an adverb.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. He goes always for a run in the morning.
Error concept: Adverb placement.
What is wrong: The adverb “always” is incorrectly placed after the main verb “goes.”
Grammatical concept: In English, frequency adverbs (always, usually, often, never) typically appear before the main verb but after auxiliary verbs.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Placing “always” after “goes” makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and unnatural.
How to correct: Move “always” before the main verb.
Correct phrase/correction: He always goes for a run in the morning.
Final sentence: He always goes for a run in the morning.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
