Select the sentence that has a grammatical error.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I wish I had eraser to erase all the mistakes in my life
Error concept: The sentence is missing an article before the noun eraser.
What is wrong: In English, singular countable nouns require an article (a, an, the) or another determiner.
Grammatical concept: Indefinite article usage: a is used before a singular noun that is non-specific or mentioned for the first time.
Incorrectness of the concept in context:Here, eraser is a singular, countable noun. Omitting the article makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
How to correct: Add the indefinite article a before eraser.
Correct phrase/correction: I wish I had an eraser to erase all the mistakes in my life.
Final sentence: I wish I had an eraser to erase all the mistakes in my life.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
