$\textbf{Topic:-Correlative conjugations}$

$\textbf{To do:- Identify sentences having the wrong usage}$

Considering every statement:

(1 ) No sooner she see the body than she fainted.

Ans: Incorrect

No sooner is used to show that one thing happens after another. As we know that we use past tense with the things which have already occured in past, therefore the given sentence is grammatically incorrect. We normally use past perfect or simple past with no sooner.

2) No sooner did she see the body than she fainted.

Ans: Correct

It is grammatically correct as past tense is used here followed by simple past form of the verb

3) I not only like sweets and junk food too.

Ans:Incorrect

There is no such correlative conjugation as used above.Instead, we use 'not only' and 'but also'. Therefore, the above sentence is grammatically incorrect.

• It could have been written as:

I not only like sweets but also junk food.

(4) Whether you come for the picnic or not, you have to pay the money.

Ans:Correct

This sentence is grammatically correct as correlative conjugation has been used properly here. 'Whether' and 'not' signifies possibility which are not really important.

Hence, (1) and (3) are incorrect sentences.
