    Question

    Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
    Sentence: I have to read this so that I didn’t get this speech wrong.
    I. I have to read this so that I didn’t got this speech wrong.
    II. I am to read this so that I didn’t got this speech wrong.

    A.

    Only I is correct

    B.

    Both I and II are correct

    C.

    Only II is correct

    D.

    Neither I nor II is correct

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) is correct. Both given sentences are grammatically incorrect.
    · In sentence I: “didn’t got” is wrong because “didn’t” already implies past tense, so the verb should be in base form: “get” instead of “got”.
    · In sentence II: The verb structure “didn’t got” is still wrong and “I am to read this” is awkward and overly formal; also contextually mismatched.
    Correct form: “I have to read this so that I don’t get this speech wrong.”
    Grammatical rule used:
    · After “didn’t” (past auxiliary), the main verb must be in base form.
    · “I have to” is the proper usage for present necessity or obligation.
    �� Information Booster:
    In negative past tense constructions, avoid using the past form of the verb after "didn't".
