Question

Spot the error:a....the staffs are kind.b....in spite of his poor he is happy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The staffs are kind. Inspire of his poverty, he is happy

Answer 2

The errors have been detected and corrected as follows:

a) The staff is kind.

b) In spite of his poverty, he is happy.

* In the first sentence, the word 'staff' is a collective noun, i.e. it refers to a group of people and is therefore considered as a single unit.

So, we need to use a singular verb with it( is). Also the word 'staffs' is an incorrect word here.

* In the second sentence, the adjective form has been used( poor), however adjectives should always be followed by a noun or noun phrase. Therefore in this case, we need the noun form of the word( poverty).
