The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
It was thirty minutes past six / on a early March morning / when he went out / for a walk.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. on a early March morning
- The second part of the given sentence is erroneous.
- 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles. 'A' is used when the word begins with a consonant and 'an' is used when a word begins with a vowel.
- Since, the early starts with a vowel, the article 'a' will be replaced with the article 'an'.
The correct sentence is:
It was thirty minutes past six on an early March morning when he went out for a walk.
