Answer:
The hermit did not pay anything to the king.
Error: The main verb form should be in the infinitive form.
Explanation:
- The auxiliary verb ‘did’ in the above sentence is in the negative form along with not.
- The auxiliary verb ‘did not’ implies that the action is not being done in the past.
- So along with ‘did not’ the main verb used takes the infinitive form. Like in the given sentence: The hermit did not pay anything to the king Two verbs in past tense form are not written in a sentence.
- The verb ‘pay’is an irregular verb with its past simple and past participle forms being ‘paid’.
