Question

Correct the sentence-I paid hundred rupees for this shirt.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct the sentence : I paid hundred rupees for this shirt.

• The correct sentence is : I paid a hundred rupees for this shirt.

• 'A' is referring here Number of hundreds. Therefore in the sentence Number was missing. 'A' defines Singular Number.

• We can also write : I paid two hundred rupees for this shirt. 'Two' admits Plural Number.

• I paid a hundred rupees for this shirt is an example of Simple Past Tense because here main verb 'paid' has been written in verb's past form ( pay - paid - paid ).

Answer 2

"I paid a hundred rupees for this shirt".

It is the correct sentence.

Explanation:

• A represents the number of a thing or object.
• A is an article and is used for countable nouns.
• As the money is countable and in this case there is only one note of hundred rupees which means it is singular.
• Therefore the hundred should proceed with article a.
