Question

I gave a ten rupees note to the beggar. Spot the error

Answer 1

Answer:

rupee

Explanation:

it should be ' a ten rupee note'

Answer 2

The error in the given sentence 'I gave a ten rupees note to the beggar' is that the word rupees has been pluralized. It should be used in the singular form like 'rupee'.

• Here, in the given sentence, we cannot pluralize the word 'rupees' since it does not make any sense. The word rupee is always used as a singular noun.
• Hence, the correct sentence will be: I gave a ten-rupee note to the beggar.
• Here, in the corrected sentence, we are writing a 'ten-rupee' as a hyphenated adjectival phrase. In this kind of phrase, which is in a hyphenated adjectival phrase, we cannot pluralize the word in it.
• Hence, we have to deduct an 's' from the word 'rupees' and make it singular.
• Hence, the correct sentence will be 'I gave a ten rupees note to the beggar'.
