Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Have you / ever spoke / to anyone / about your problems?
Option 1: ever spoke
Option 2: about your problems
Option 3: to anyone
Option 4: Have you
Correct Answer: ever spoke
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
In English, the present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb have (or has, depending on the subject) along with the past participle form of the main verb.
The correct past participle of the verb speak is spoken when used with auxiliary verbs like have.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Have you ever spoken to anyone about your problems?"
