Question

Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The plant will die unless you will water it every day.

A.

you will water

B.

will die

C.

every day

D.

unless

Correct option is A


Option (a) "you will water" contains an error.
· Explanation: The phrase "unless you will water" is incorrect because the word "unless" is a subordinating conjunction used to introduce a condition, and the verb in the conditional clause should be in the simple present tense, not the future tense. The correct phrase should be "unless you water."
· Grammatical rule used: In conditional sentences, when "unless" is used, the verb following it should be in the simple present tense to express a condition that must be fulfilled for the main clause to happen.
· Example:
· Incorrect: The plant will die unless you will water it every day.
· Correct: The plant will die unless you water it every day.
