Question: What is the mistake in the sentence - Sarah doesn't give me the book.
Answer: The verb tense is wrong. It should be Sarah is not giving me the book.
Explanation:
What is tense?
- Tense conveys time through it's use. there are three types of tense forms - past, present and future.
- Past tense indicates the actions that have already happened and reported.
- Present tense is used to describe actions taking place as we speak.
- Future tense describes actions that are yet to occur.
Here, the tense form is wrong because:
- Sarah doesn't give me the book indicates that the action is a part of some temporary routine and she usually doesn't give the author the book.
- But, as we can see the statement is better suited in present tense i.e. Sarah is not giving me the book. Here, Sarah is currently not giving the author the book.
