Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
We usually sleep in bedrooms with the door firmly shuted behind us.

A.

We usually sleep in

B.

bedrooms with the door

C.

No error

D.

firmly shuted

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
Error: The word shuted is incorrect because shut is an irregular verb that remains the same in all forms (base, past, and past participle).
The correct usage should be shut instead of shuted.
Grammatical rule used: Some verbs in English do not take -ed in their past and past participle forms. Words like shut, put, cut, set remain unchanged in all forms.
Corrected sentence: We usually sleep in bedrooms with the door firmly shut behind us.
Example: The shop was shut early due to the storm.
