Question : Parts of the given sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don't find any error, mark 'No error' as your answer.
I like reading fictional stories besides write poems.
Option 1: No error
Option 2: fictional stories besides
Option 3: write poems
Option 4: I like reading
Correct Answer: write poems
Solution : The part containing the error is the third option.
Explanation: To maintain parallelism and grammatical consistency, the verbs used for the activities should be in the same form. In this case, "reading" is a gerund (the -ing form of the verb used as a noun), and for consistency, the verb related to writing poems should also be in gerund form. Therefore, instead of "write" which is the base form of the verb, we should use "writing" in the gerund form.
So, the correct sentence would be: I like reading fictional stories besides writing poems .
