    Question

    In following question, there may be an error in one part of the sentence. That error part would be your answer. If there would be no error in the sentence, your answer would be ‘No error’.
    I did not see (A)/ no one (B)/ in the shop. (C)/ No error (D)

    A.

    A

    B.

    B

    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    Correct option is B


    Option (b) contains an error.
    Explanation: "Did not" is already a negative verb. Using “no one” creates a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect. It should be replaced with “anyone.”
    Correct sentence: I did not see anyone in the shop.
    Grammatical rule used:
    In standard English, only one negative should be used in a clause. Using two negatives like “did not” and “no one” results in a double negative, which reverses the intended meaning.
    Rule in Hindi:
    एक वाक्य में दो नकारात्मक शब्द (जैसे “did not” और “no one”) एक साथ प्रयोग नहीं किए जाते। यह वाक्य को व्याकरणिक रूप से गलत बनाता है।
    Example:
    · Incorrect: I didn’t hear nothing.
    · Correct: I didn’t hear anything.
