Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Sam took a little time to thought before he replied.
Option 1: a little time
Option 2: to thought
Option 3: Sam took
Option 4: before he replied
Correct Answer: to thought
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation:
The correct verb form to use after
to
in this context is the past tense of
think
, which is
thought.
However, the sentence requires the infinitive form after
to
, so the correction involves changing
to thought
to,
to think.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Sam took a little time to think before he replied."
