Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'
We watched the workmen to repair the tiles of the kitchen.
Option 1: We watched the workmen
Option 2: No error
Option 3: of the kitchen
Option 4: to repair the tiles
Correct Answer: to repair the tiles
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
When expressing an action that follows another action, particularly when one action is observed or perceived, the gerund form is typically used.
In this case, repairing (gerund) is more appropriate than to repair (infinitive).
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We watched the workmen repairing the tiles of the kitchen".
