Question

Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
My father did never have an opportunity to go to a University.

A.

an opportunity

B.

a University

C.

to go to

D.

did never have

Correct option is D

The segment "did never have" contains the grammatical error.
· The correct construction should use "never had" instead of "did never have" to form the negative past tense properly.
· Grammatical rule: In English, the auxiliary 'did' is used to form questions and negative statements in the simple past tense, but it should be followed by the base form of the verb, and 'never' typically precedes the main verb in its base form.
· Correct answer: My father never had an opportunity to go to a university, reflecting the correct negation and tense usage.
