The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The meeting / will taking / place next / Wednesday.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. will taking.
- The error lies in the incorrect use of the verb form in "will taking." In English, after the modal verb "will," the base form of the main verb is used.
- So instead of "will taking," the correct phrase should be "will take," because "take" is the base form of the verb.
- Modal verbs like "will" are always followed by the base form, not the -ing form.
