Back to paper

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

Having just taking a heavy lunch, she was not ready to have any fruit.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. taking a heavy lunch.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Form of the verb".
  2. We need to replace "taking" with "taken" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "Have" is always followed by the past participle form of the verb.
  • "Having just taken the lunch" will be the correct phrase.

The correct sentence will be- 

Having just taken a heavy lunch, she was not ready to have any fruit.
