    Choose the part of the sentence that contains an error: She insisted to accompany me.
    Question

    Choose the part of the sentence that contains an error:
    She insisted to accompany me.

    A.

    to accompany

    B.

    me

    C.

    No error

    D.

    She insisted

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    Explanation: The verb insist does not take an infinitive “to + V1”. The correct pattern is insist on + V-ing or insist that + clause. Hence, we should say “She insisted on accompanying me.” The rest of the sentence is fine.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · insist on + gerund (V-ing): “They insisted on paying.”
    · insist that + subject + (should) + base verb: “They insisted that she (should) stay.” (In formal English, “should” is optional but implied.)
    Example: “The passengers insisted on getting a refund.”
    Information booster:
    · Similar patterns: persist in + V-ing, apologize for + V-ing, object to + V-ing, succeed in + V-ing.
    · Do not write insisted to go (✗); write insisted on going (✓).
