Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of

    them contains an error. Select the part that contains an error from the given options. If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, mark (d) as your answer. She was walking (A)/ with her friends in the park (B)/ when she had suddenly fell (C)/ no error (D).
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part (C). The phrase "had suddenly fell" is incorrect. The correct form should be "suddenly fell" because the past continuous "was walking" should be followed by the simple past "fell," not the past perfect "had fallen." The corrected sentence is: "She was walking with her friends in the park when she suddenly fell."
