Question

i availed of two days leave and went home ( modify the sentence to make it conform to accepted usage )​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I availed of two days leave and went home. (Incorrect)

Ans- I availed myself of two days' leave and went home.

The rule that applies here is as follows:

→If there is a transitive verb in a sentence without any object, we should add reflexive pronoun just after the verb.

→Here, avail is a transitive verb and needs a object after it. So in order to make the sentence grammatically correct, we need to add reflexive pronoun as per the rule.

So the final sentence is " I availed myself of two days' leave and went home."
