Back to paper

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

Everyone except she have travelled by air.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. she have.

  1. The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "Subject-Verb agreement".
  2. We need to replace "have" with "has" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.
  • "She" is considered to be the singular pronoun hence, we need to use a singular verb here.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Everyone except she has travelled by air.
