Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option A i.e. I recall you telling me.
The error lies in part A of the statement because of the wrong use of the Gerund.
Concept-
- We need to replace "you" with "your" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- Before a gerund, we use possessive cases.
- As in the statement "telling" is a gerund we need to use possessive case of "you" before it.
The correct sentence will be-
I recall you telling me the story of the seven witches but I cannot remember where or when.
