The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
He did not forgot / to consult his parents / before accepting / the job offer.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He did not forgot.
Error Concept: "Did" + base verb is the correct rule in negative past tense.
What is wrong: "Did not forgot" is incorrect because "did" already carries the past tense. So the verb should be in base form: "forget", not "forgot".
Correct phrase: did not forget
Final Sentence: He did not forget to consult his parents before accepting the job offer.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
