Question

In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
My tailor is made some very stylish dresses for me as well as for my daughter.

A.

for my daughter

B.

is made

C.

very stylish dresses

D.

for me as well as

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation: “is made” is incorrect because it mixes present tense auxiliary with past participle form, but without a passive voice structure. The intended sentence is active and refers to a recently completed action, so the correct phrase should be “has made.”
Correct sentence: My tailor has made some very stylish dresses...
Grammatical rule used: Present perfect tense is formed by using has/have + past participle (V3).
This tense is used for actions that have just been completed or have relevance to the present.
Example: She has completed the report. (The report is now ready.)
Information Booster: In active voice, we use “has/have made” instead of “is made” unless we want a passive structure like “It is made by...”
