Question

Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
Please consult a doctor before you take any medicine.

A.

consulting

B.

consulted

C.

No improvement required

D.

consults

Correct option is C

The given sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any improvement.
· The phrase "consult a doctor before you take any medicine" is correctly structured because "consult" is in the imperative form, which is appropriate for giving advice or instructions.
· The verb "consult" is correctly used in its base form after "please," which indicates a polite request or suggestion.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· In imperative sentences, the verb remains in its base form without "to" (e.g., "Please call me," "Please help the poor").
Example:
· Please check your work before submitting it.
Meanings of other options:
· Consulting: Present participle of consult, used in continuous tenses (incorrect here).
· Consulted: Past form of consult, inappropriate for an imperative sentence.
· Consults: Singular present form, incorrect as the subject is not third-person singular.
