    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.
