The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.
He organises / a children’s fair every year/ and his friends comes / to attend it.
Detailed Solution & Logic
and his friends comes
š§ Explanation
The error is in the segment āand his friends comesā.
š The subject āfriendsā is plural, so the verb must also be plural.
š ācomesā is a singular verb, which is incorrect here.
āļø Correct Sentence:
He organises a children's fair every year and his friends come to attend it.
ā Error Rule:
- Singular subject ā comes
- Plural subject ā come
š Here:
friends (plural) ā come (correct), not comes
⨠Extra Facts
š¹ Subject-Verb Agreement Rule
The verb must agree with the subject in number:
- He runs (singular)
- They run (plural)
š¹ Words that may confuse (like āfriendsā)
- Always identify whether the subject is singular or plural before choosing the verb.
š¹ āChildrenās fairā usage
- Childrenās = possessive form (fair belonging to children)
- āChildrenā is already plural, so we add ās ā childrenās
šÆ Exam Tip
š Whenever you see verbs like comes / goes / does, quickly check:
- Is the subject singular?
- If not ā remove ās/esā from the verb.
