About rectifying errors:

• In the question given, we must find out the errors in it and also correct them.
• When we are given a sentence to spot the mistake, we must check if there is agreement among the parts of speech in it.
• Especially, the agreement between subject and verb must be looked into.
• Here there is agreement between the subject and verb.

Two errors in the sentence:

• The pronoun is used wrongly. It must be 'her' instead of 'she' when we use the pronoun as an indirect object.
• Question tags are words that are added at the end of a sentence to change the statement into an interrogative statement.
• They form 'yes/ no' questions.
• If the sentence is in positive, the tag must be in negative ('not' must be added).
• If the sentence is in negative (if 'not' is used) , the tag must be in positive.
• Here the sentence is negative as there is 'never'. So the tag must be in positive. Thus it must be 'did I?'.
• Therefore the answer is: I never accused her of breaking the glass, did I?
