Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. 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 asked me (1) / when could I finish (2) / the work. (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.
This is a case of indirect speech. The general pattern in reporting a question is that a question is changed to the statement, so "could" should come after the subjective pronoun "I". Thus, "could I" should be replaced with "I could" to make it a grammatically correct indirect statement.
Therefore, the correct statement is: "He asked me when I could finish the work."
