Back to paper

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

I learnt to adapt quickly to new schools because we moved to new places quite frequent.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. quite frequent.

  1. The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Adverb".
  2. We need to replace "Frequent" with "Frequently" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • In the given statement there is an adverb "quite" that is qualifying "frequent".
  • Frequent is qualifying a verb hence, we need to write in the form of an adverb.
  • An adverb is used to modify a verb.
  • The chosen option contains the "ERROR" hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

I learnt to adapt quickly to new schools because we moved to new places quite frequently.
