Directions:
Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the number of that part with error as your answer. If there is no error, mark (d). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)
When the dentist came in (a)/ my tooth was stopped aching (b)/ out of fear. (c)/ No error (d)
Answer: (b)
Delete 'was'. Use of 'was stopped' is incorrect in standard English. Both 'was' and 'stopped' indicate the past.
No sooner did I open the door (a)/ when the rain, heavy and stormy, rushed in, (b)/ making us shiver from head to foot. (c)/ No error (d)
Answer: (b)
'No sooner' should be followed by 'than' and not 'when'. The pair 'no sooner ... than' is a subordinate conjunction of time. It indicates that the second event occurs immediately after the first one.
If I knew (a)/ that my friend had planned to visit the town that day, (b) I would have made his stay comfortable. (c)/ No error (d)
Answer: (a)
'If I had known' is the correct beginning. 'I would have made his stay comfortable' bears refer- ence to some time that has gone; 'If I had known' goes farther back than that time (so past perfect tense is to be used).
Though she was sick (a)/ but (b)/ she went to work. (c)/ No error (d)
Answer: (b)
'But' is not required here; 'though' conveys the meaning that 'but' would have signified if the sentence had been used without 'though'.
If I was you (a)/ I would not have (b)/ committed this blunder. (c) / No error (d)
Answer: (a)
It is more common to use 'were' instead of 'was' in such hypothetical statements with 'I'. But here, 'If I had been you' should be preferred in (a).
