Question

These news were broadcasted on Radio BBC. Correct the sentence​

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept:

In English, the verb only needs to match the number and occasionally the person; subject-verb agreement is a grammar rule that states that the verb or verbs in a phrase must match the number, person, and gender of the subject. For instance, the verb "goes" is used differently when the singular subject it and the plural subject they are used together.

Explanation:

• Subject-verb agreement, also known as "subject-verb concord," is the matching of a sentence's subject and verb in tense, aspect, and mood, often known as number, person, and gender (abbreviated as TAM).
• Only the verb be alters depending on whether the sentence is in the first, second, or third person in English, which does not employ grammatical gender aside from pronouns.
• Accordingly, the majority of subject-verb agreements in English are quantified: if the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must also be many.
• Even this, though, can be perplexing because the first-person singular ("I climb the fence") and first-person plural ("We climb the fence") verb tenses are the same.
• In English, subject-verb agreement adapts verbs to the third-person singular ("It climbs the fence"), with the exception of the verb be.
• Basically, all subjects utilize the regular form of a verb in the present tense, with the exception of third-person singular.

     

Hence,  for this statement "These news were broadcasted on Radio BBC".

The corrected sentence was "This news was broadcasted on Radio BBC".

Answer 2

This news was broadcast on Radio BBC.

• The right response is "was televised." The best replacement for the highlighted portion of the given text is "was televised." English considers the word "news" to be singular and uncountable.
• The Basics. It is necessary for subjects and verbs to agree in NUMBER. As a result, a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb.
• Either being broadcast or being broadcasted is the past of broadcast. Despite the fact that both are in use, broadcast is far more prevalent, particularly in the simple past but also as past participle.
• The verb "broadcast" is the same in both the present and past tenses, for instance. (The word "broadcasted" isn't in the dictionary.) "CNN broadcast a show yesterday".
• Was, a past tense indicative form of be, is used in both the first person singular (I) and the third person singular (he/she/it), and it means "to exist or live."
