Question : In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
You should have reports the matter to your teacher instead of taking it in your own hands.
Option 1: taking it
Option 2: instead of
Option 3: should have
Option 4: reports the matter
Correct Answer: reports the matter
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
- We would replace "reports" with "reported" to correct the sentence.
- "Have + past participle form of the main verb" is used to form the present perfect tense, and "have" is always followed by the third form of the verb.
- Thus, the past participle of the verb "report," i.e., reported, would be used.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "You should have reported the matter to your teacher instead of taking it in your own hands."
