SSC CHSL - 01 July 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q24

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
When it / come to football, / my brother is / an addict.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. come to football.

The error in the sentence is in the segment "come to football". The correct phrase should be "comes to football".

"Come" is incorrect because the subject of the sentence ("it") is singular, so the verb should be in the singular form as well.

"Comes" is the singular form of the verb that agrees with the singular subject "it."

Thus, the corrected sentence should be: "When it comes to football, my brother is an addict."
