Back to paper

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The new / secretary / does not likes / me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. does not likes.

  • When we use the auxiliary verb "does" in the present tense (which is the case here with "does not"), the main verb that follows should be in its base form (the infinitive form without "to").
  • So, instead of "likes," we need to use the base form "like."

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "The new secretary does not like me."
