Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of an adverb.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. I’ll submit next week the assignment to you.
Error concept: Incorrect placement of the adverb.
What is wrong: The adverbial phrase “next week” is placed between the verb “submit” and its object “the assignment,” which is grammatically incorrect.
Grammatical concept: Adverbs of time should generally appear at the end of the sentence or immediately after the main verb without disrupting the sentence flow.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Placing “next week” before the object makes the sentence awkward and ungrammatical.
How to correct: Move “next week” to the end of the sentence.
Correct phrase/correction: submit the assignment to you next week
Final sentence: I’ll submit the assignment to you next week.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
