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.
