MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What could be fixed in this sentence? " She bring her favorite book to read under the big tree. "

Change she to her

Change bring to brought

Remove tree

No change needed

Answer explanation

The sentence contains a verb tense error. 'Bring' should be changed to 'brought' to correctly reflect the past tense, as the action of bringing the book is implied to have already occurred.

Which word needs correction in this sentence? "He go to the market every Saturday."

Change go to goes

Change market to markets

No change needed

Answer explanation

The correct form is 'He goes to the market every Saturday.' The subject 'He' requires the verb 'go' to be in the third person singular form, which is 'goes'. Therefore, change 'go' to 'goes'.
