Question

Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
Sentence: The makers of the film didn’t wanted to talk about the fight that had took place yesterday.
I. The makers of the film refused to talk about the fight that happened yesterday.
II. The makers of the film didn’t want to talk about the fight that happened yesterday.
III. The makers of the film didn’t want to talk about the fight that took place yesterday.

A.

All I, II and III are correct

B.

Only III is correct

C.

Only II and III are correct

D.

Only I is correct

Correct option is A

All the three sentences (I, II, and III) are grammatically correct.
Explanation of original sentence error:
· Original sentence: “didn’t wanted” is incorrect because when we use “did” (past tense auxiliary), the main verb should always be in its base form.
· Also, “had took” is incorrect because the past participle of take is “taken”, but that’s not used correctly here. The simpler and more accurate version would be “took place” or “happened” depending on the structure.
Explanation of each correct sentence:
· I. “The makers of the film refused to talk about the fight that happened yesterday.”
· ✔ This sentence is independent and correct. “Refused” is a simple past verb, and “happened” correctly matches the past event.
· II. “The makers of the film didn’t want to talk about the fight that happened yesterday.”
· ✔ Correct use of “didn’t” with base verb “want” and the past event “happened”.
· III. “The makers of the film didn’t want to talk about the fight that took place yesterday.”
· ✔ Also correct. “Didn’t want” is the right form and “took place” is appropriate for events that occurred.
Grammatical rule used:
· When using “did not (didn’t)”, the main verb must be in base form, not past tense.
· Example: He didn’t go, not “didn’t went”.
· “Took place” is a phrasal form indicating an event occurred—perfectly acceptable in past tense without requiring “had”.
�� Information Booster:
Verbs following “did” in negative or interrogative forms are never in past tense. Always use base form:
· ✅ She didn’t sing.
· ❌ She didn’t sang.
