Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
I want to learn yoga when I was in school.
Option 1: used to
Option 2: No substitution required
Option 3: ought to
Option 4: need to
Correct Answer: used to
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The original sentence contains a tense inconsistency. The verb "want" is in the present tense, while the time reference "when I was in school" suggests a past context. To accurately convey a past habitual action, we need to use the construction " used to". It aligns with the idea that the speaker had a regular practice of learning yoga during their time in school.
So, the correct sentence would be: I used to learn yoga when I was in school.
