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

I am give / a speech on / emerging economic dynamics / in the program.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 ie. I am give.

The sentence is incorrect because of the incorrect verb form.

We use present continuous tense to refer to a planned future activity.

The correct verb structure is: Am/ Is/ Are + V-ing

Thus, it should be "I am giving".

The corrected sentence would be: I am giving a speech on emerging economic dynamics in the program.
