Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
He commanded me (1) / as if he was (2) / my husband. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
There is an error in the auxiliary verb usage in the sentence. The auxiliary verb "was" should be replaced with "were" to convey the intended meaning that the person commanded the speaker as if he were the speaker's husband, which means that he was not the husband. When expressing a hypothetical or unreal situation, "were" is usually used with a singular noun or pronoun instead of "was".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He commanded me as if he were my husband."
