SSC CGL - 23 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q3

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

Mr. Suman / asked me / to pack / my luggages.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. my luggages.

Error Concept:Incorrect use of countable and uncountable noun.

What is wrong:The word 'luggages' is incorrect because 'luggage' is an uncountable noun and does not take a plural form.

Grammatical Concept:Uncountable nouns like 'luggage,' 'furniture,' and 'information' do not have plural forms and are treated as singular.

Incorrectness of the concept in context:Using 'luggages' wrongly pluralizes an uncountable noun, which makes the phrase grammatically incorrect.

correction:Remove the plural 's' and use 'my luggage' instead.

Correct phrase:my luggage

Final sentence:Mr. Suman asked me to pack my luggage.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
