Back to paper

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

If so many catches had not being dropped, we would have won the match.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. had not being dropped.

  1. The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of "Verb form".
  2. We need to replace "Being" with "Been" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "Has/Have/Has + past participle" is the correct verb phrase.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

If so many catches had not been dropped, we would have won the match.
