The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
She had resign / from the / post before / he apologised.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. She had resign.
The first part of the sentence contains an error.
Here, 'She resigned' should be used instead of 'She had resign'.
The verb "resign" is in its base form, but it should be in the past participle form to match the past perfect tense.
The past perfect tense uses the past participle form of the verb with the auxiliary verb "had". The correct past participle of "resign" is "resigned".
The correct form of the sentence will be: She resigned from the post before he apologised
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
