Question

Identify the part of the following sentence which has an error.
Ram did (a) not like (b) you going (c) there. (d)

A.

a

B.

b

C.

c

D.

d

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• After verbs like like, dislike, hate, appreciate, when we use a gerund (-ing form) as a noun, it is considered correct to use a possessive form before it.
• Therefore, “you going” should be “your going” because “going” is functioning as a gerund (noun).
• Hence, the error lies in part (c).
Correct sentence: Ram did not like your going there.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• When an -ing form is used as a gerund (noun), a possessive is preferred before it:
my/your/his/her/their + gerund
• Example pattern: I dislike his coming late.
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• जब -ing form gerund (संज्ञा की तरह) काम करता है, तो उसके पहले possessive (my/your/his) लगाना अधिक सही माना जाता है।
• इसलिए “you going” के स्थान पर “your going” सही है क्योंकि “going” यहाँ noun की तरह प्रयोग हुआ है।
Example: I dislike his smoking.
