Question

Improve the highlighted part of the sentence.
Don't try to force the window open, or you might broken it.

A.

you have break

B.

you might break

C.

No improvement

D.

you might breaks

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) you might break.
Explanation: The auxiliary verb “might” is always followed by the base form of the main verb, not past or third-person forms. "Broken" is the past participle, which is incorrect here.
Grammatical rule used:
· Modals like “might”, “can”, “should” are followed by the base form (V1) of the verb.
· Example: You might win the race. ✅
· Incorrect: You might won ❌
Information Booster:
Past participles (e.g., broken, done, eaten) are only used with perfect tenses (has/have/had + V3) or in passive voice.
