Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No Error’.
He didn’t went to the school as he was down with fever.
Option 1: no error
Option 2: he didn’t went
Option 3: was down with fever
Option 4: to the school as he
Correct Answer: he didn’t went
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
In English, the past tense form of the verb go is went. When using the auxiliary verb did to form the negative past tense, the base form of the main verb should be used. So, the correct construction is he didn’t go rather than he didn’t went.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He didn’t go to the school as he was down with fever."
