Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct
He held the railing as he walked downed the stairs.
Option 1: No improvement
Option 2: walk down
Option 3: walked downs
Option 4: walked down
Correct Answer: walked down
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
Walked downed is not grammatically accurate, as walked already implies the action happening in the past, and downed is not the correct verb form. To imply the action of walking down in the past, walked down is correct, and there is no need to add a past tense marker after down .
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He held the railing as he walked down the stairs."
