Back to paper

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

Have you / ever spoke / to anyone / about your problems?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ever spoke.

  • The error lies in the option 3 due to the wrong usage of the tense.
  • The given sentence is in present perfect tense. Therefore have + V3 should be used.
  • So, instead of the word 'spoke', the word 'spoken' should be used.

The correct sentence will be:-

Have you ever spoken to anyone about your problems?

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ever spoke.
