    Question

    In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
    Due to the lockdown most schools teaches students through online classes.

    A.

    most schools

    B.

    teaches students

    C.

    Due to the lockdown

    D.

    through online classes

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Explanation of Error:
    The subject of the verb “teaches” is “most schools”, which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be in plural form: “teach”, not “teaches.”
    · Incorrect: most schools teaches students...
    · Correct: most schools teach students...
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Subject-Verb Agreement Rule: A plural subject must take a plural verb, and a singular subject must take a singular verb.
    · Example:
    · She teaches math. (Singular subject)
    · They teach math. (Plural subject)
    Information Booster:
    · “Teaches” → singular form (used with he/she/it)
    · “Teach” → plural form (used with we/you/they)
