Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
That movie is so sad; the ending always makes me bawling.
Option 1: makes me bawled
Option 2: No improvement
Option 3: makes me bawl
Option 4: made me bawl
Correct Answer: makes me bawl
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
The original sentence is incorrect because the phrase makes me bawling improperly uses the progressive form of the verb bawl (which means to cry loudly) after makes me.
When expressing the effect of something on a person, the base form of the verb should be used. The correct form is makes me bawl, where bawl is the base form of the verb and is grammatically accurate in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "That movie is so sad; the ending always makes me bawl .
