In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
He part the grass at the place where he had seen the deer.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. He part the grass
- The past perfect and past simple tenses are used together to show the order of two past events or to provide a reason for a situation.
- The deer was seen first then the action of parting the grass happened later.
- So, the first part of the sentence will be in the simple past tense and V1 will be used.
- The correct past tense form (V1) of the verb "part" is "parted."
Thus, the correct sentence would be: He parted the grass at the place where he had seen the deer.
