Back to paper

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I wish / I am / the Principal / of the school!

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., I am.

  • The mood of the given sentence is subjunctive. It is the verb form used to explore a hypothetical situation.
  • Also, 'I am' in the given sentence is the normal present tense verb form, hence cannot be used for a sentence with a subjunctive mood.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

I wish I were the Principal of the school!
