Spot the error in the below-given sentence.
"She can sings very well".

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: sings
Explanation:
• Modal auxiliary verbs such as can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and must are always followed by the base form of the verb (V1).
• In the given sentence, the modal verb can is incorrectly followed by the singular inflected verb sings instead of the base form sing.
• Correct sentence: "She can sing very well."
Quick Tip: Modal verb + Base form of verb (V1 without 's'/'es').
