Question

Spot the error in the following sentence and rewrite it:

Yesterday, he is carried a big box​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yesterday, he was carried a big box

Answer 2

ERROR CORRECTION

Answer:

Yesterday, he carried a big box.

or

Yesterday, he was carrying a big box.

Explanation:

• In the given sentence, the incorrect word is "is."
• This is because, the sentence started with the word "yesterday" which denotes that an activity which happened in the past is discussed in the sentence and that is why past form of the verb should be used further in the sentence.
• "is" is a helping/auxiliary verb used for present tense, hence it should not be used.
• The sentence can be corrected in two ways as mentioned above: First, by removing the helping verb and writing it in simple past form or, second, by using a helping verb which is used for past tense, i.e., "was" along with -ing form of "carried" which makes it past continuous form of the sentence.
