Question

Correct errors / omissions of verbs,prepositions and articles (a) Birkenhead was a troopship (b) We are now learn English (c) Children depend for their parents (d) Nothing grow in a desert (e) Sometime it is difficult to live a honest life

Answer 1

$\boxed{Answer :-}$

(a) Birkenhead was $\bf\underline{the}$ troopship.

$\bf\red {Error :-}$ (Article) "the" will be used at the place of "a" because troopship shows something specific about Birkenhead.

(b) We are now $\bf\underline{learning}$ English.

$\bf\red{Error :-}$ (Verb) sentence is in present continuous tense thus ing form of verb will be used.

(c) Children depend $\bf\underline{on}$ their parents.

$\bf\red{Error :-}$ (Preposition) to show dependency we have to use "on" instead of "for".

(d) Nothing $\bf\underline{grows \: up}$ in a desert.

$\bf\red{Error :-}$ (Verb) the sentence is in present indefinite tense and for singular things we use "s, es" in this tense.

(e) Sometimes it is difficult to live $\bf\underline{an}$ honest life.

$\bf\red{Error :-}$ (Article) H is silent letter. An will be used because after "h" there is a vowel i.e. "o".
