    Question

    Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
    Sentence: My eyes popped wide open as I seen that the Greek salad was priced at six hundred rupees.
    I. My eyes popped wide open as I seen that the Greek salad is priced at six hundred rupees.
    II. My eyes popped wide open as I saw that the Greek salad was priced at six hundred rupees.

    A.

    Neither I nor II is correct

    B.

    Both I and II are correct

    C.

    Only II is correct

    D.

    Only I is correct

    Correct option is C

    The grammatically correct sentence is (c) Only II is correct.
    · In I, the use of "seen" is incorrect. "Seen" is the past participle form and should be used with a helping verb ("have seen," "had seen"), but here it is incorrectly used without a helper verb.
    · In II, "saw" (simple past tense of "see") is correctly used with past narrative ("was priced").
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Use simple past form (saw) when describing a completed action without auxiliary verbs.
    · Past participle ("seen") must always be used with a helping verb.
    Example:
    · Correct: I saw him yesterday.
    · Correct: I have seen him yesterday.
    · Incorrect: I seen him yesterday.
    �� Information Booster:
    · Past participle forms must be used with auxiliary verbs like has/have/had.
