SSC GD Const (English) - 06 March 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q19

Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.

I can't hearing what he's saying.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. hear what.

The verb "can't" is a modal verb and must be followed by the base form of the verb (bare infinitive).

The word "hearing" is incorrect here because it is the present participle.

Therefore, the correct phrase is "I can't hear what he's saying."
