The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
When the train pulled in / at the station, it take / Joseph some time / to get off.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. at the station, it take.
- The second part of the sentence is erroneous in nature.
- The verb form "take" should be in the past tense to agree with the past tense of the sentence.
- Therefore, it should be "it took" instead of "it take."
Thus, the corrected sentence would be:
When the train pulled in at the station, it took Joseph some time to get off.
