Question
Identify the erroneous part of the sentence. The professional driver / turned the steering wheel / very sharp / to avoid the pothole.
Solution
The sentence describes how the driver turned the wheel (an action verb). To modify a verb, you must use an adverb instead of an adjective. Therefore, "sharp" must be changed to "sharply."Â
