Question

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
If I were a cartoonist, I have drawn cartoons of all my friends.

A.

all my friends.

B.

I have drawn

C.

cartoons of

D.

If I were

Correct option is B


Option (b) "I have drawn" contains a grammatical error.
· The correct verb form following the conditional "If I were" (which sets up a hypothetical or unreal situation) should be in the conditional perfect tense, "I would have drawn," not "I have drawn." This change reflects the hypothetical nature of the action that would occur if the condition were true.
· Grammatical rule used: In conditional sentences that express unreal or hypothetical situations, the correct structure after "If I were" is usually "would + have + past participle."
Example:
· Incorrect: If I were rich, I have bought a mansion.
· Correct: If I were rich, I would have bought a mansion.
