Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The three of them shouted out to each another when the train started moving.
Option 1: started moving
Option 2: shouted out to each another
Option 3: when the train
Option 4: The three of them
Answer (1)
Correct Answer: shouted out to each another
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
- The erroneous part "shouted out to each another" would be replaced with "shouted out to one another".
- The given sentence is an example of a reciprocal pronoun.
- We know that "each other" is used when there are two people.
- We know that when we are talking about more than two people, we should use a different reciprocal pronoun, which is "one another".
- In the given sentence, "the three" is the subject, and with them, we should use "one another".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The three of them shouted out to one another when the train started moving."
