The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.
He organises / a children’s fair every year/ and his friends comes / to attend it.
Detailed Solution & Logic
and his friends comes
đź§ Explanation
The error is in the segment “and his friends comes”.
👉 The subject “friends” is plural, so the verb must also be plural.
👉 “comes” is a singular verb, which is incorrect here.
✔️ Correct Sentence:
He organises a children's fair every year and his friends come to attend it.
❌ Error Rule:
- Singular subject → comes
- Plural subject → come
👉 Here:
friends (plural) → come (correct), not comes
✨ Extra Facts
🔹 Subject-Verb Agreement Rule
The verb must agree with the subject in number:
- He runs (singular)
- They run (plural)
🔹 Words that may confuse (like “friends”)
- Always identify whether the subject is singular or plural before choosing the verb.
🔹 “Children’s fair” usage
- Children’s = possessive form (fair belonging to children)
- “Children” is already plural, so we add ’s → children’s
🎯 Exam Tip
👉 Whenever you see verbs like comes / goes / does, quickly check:
- Is the subject singular?
- If not → remove “s/es” from the verb.
