How will you correct: Lord krishna
said that life was action, more
action, more action.
• Use is instead of was.
• It is a universal truth.

www.afterschoool.tk
How will you correct:Newton said that
for every action there was a reaction
• Replace was by is.
• It is a universal truth

www.afterschoool.tk
 How will you correct:
Meenakshi Said that she
was an early riser.
• Replace was by is - because this
sentence denotes a habit.

www.afterschoool.tk
 How will you correct: the
teacher told that earth was
round.
• Use article the before earth
• Use is instead of was – because it is a
universal truth

www.afterschoool.tk
 How will you correct: I have reading
Amit’s mission statement, who wanted
to become a great executive.
• Use read (third form), instead of reading.
• Who is coming for Amit – so put Amit at
the end of first statement – make it like
this: I have read mission statement of
Amit.
• use wants instead of wanted - because it
denotes present tense .

 How will you correct: he was as
unhappy such that he fell from a
high social position.
• he was as unhappy as though he had fallen from a
high social position.

• When we start a sentence with simple past,

subsequent past sentences get converted into
past perfect tense

www.afterschoool.tk
 correct it : Neither he
nor his friends has come
• Replace has by have.
• In neither – nor structure, we use
verb according to second subject.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : one of the
boys were playing.
• Replace were by was.
• Here subject is one – which is
singular.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : the child with
his parents have arrived.
• Replace have by has.
• The subject of this sentence is the
child – which is singular.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it : did you wrote
this letter.
• Use firs form with Did – because did
includes second form. Therefore, use
write instead of wrote.
• Use that – instead of this – because
it is a sentence of past sentence – so
this cannot be used here.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : the teacher as
well as students have
arrived.
• Use has instead of have.
• In this sentence, the subject is the
teacher – and therefore we have to
use first form – has.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : Ram, no less
than I am to blame.
• Use is instead of am – because the
subject of this sentence is Ram -
therefore we shall use is – not am.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it: he was so lame
that he can hardly walk.
• It would be more logical to use could
instead of can – as it relates to past
tense – we don’t know about present
situation

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : everyone of
them have left the
afterschoool.
• Everyone is singular – therefore use
has – not have.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it : our teacher will
take our test tomorrow.
• We will take test – not our teacher –
teacher will give us test
• So corrected sentence is :
• Our teacher will give us a test
tomorrow.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : If I am you,
I will do it right away.
• In such sentences, it would be better
to use were – would structure.
• Corrected sentence is :
• If I were you, I would do it right
away.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it: the poet and
the philosopher is dead.
• It denotes that there are two persons –
one poet and one philosopher – but we have
used is – not are.
• Correct it by removing the before
philosopher (if there is one person only)
or by replacing is by are (if there are two
persons).

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : patient died
before doctor had arrived.
• Had should be with that part of
sentence which took place earlier.
• Correct sentence is :
• The patient had died before the
doctor arrived.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : the entire
class have failed.
• Here we are denoting the class as
one collective unit – so use has
instead of have.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it : the pick pocket
was arrested and his
pockets searched.
• We have two sentences here combined by
conjunction and. We have used only one
verb – was.
• The first sentence requires singular verb –
was, but the second sentence requires
plural verb – were.
• Corrected sentence will be : the pick
pocket was arrested and his pockets were
searched.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it: the news was
broadcasted yesterday.
• Second form of broadcast is
broadcast itself. Use broadcast – not
broadcasted.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it : ten were killed
and one taken prisoner in
encounter.
There are two sentences – one
requiring plural verb and one
requiring singular verb – correct it by
using appropriate verbs.
ten were killed and one was taken
prisoner in the encounter.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : tale of two
cities are interesting novel.
• It is the name of novel – so use
singular verb.
• The tale of two cities is an
interesting novel.

www.afterschoool.tk
Correct it : Neither Ram
nor Krishna have come.
• Use has instead of have.

www.afterschoool.tk

many person in meeting.
• Were there many people at the
meeting.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Correct it : court acquit
him from murder.

not from.
