Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.
He sounded like he were to going cry.
Option 1: No improvement required
Option 2: were going to
Option 3: going to
Option 4: was going to
Correct Answer: was going to
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.
When expressing the future action of an individual, it is common to use was going to or were going to depending on the subject. In the sentence, the past tense was should be used because the speaker is describing a past situation where it refers to the singular subject he. As per subject-verb agreement, a singular subject should be followed by a singular verb, i.e., was in this case.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "He sounded like he was going to cry."
