Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Paul was / bited by a dog / when he / was a child.

A.

was a child

B.

when he

C.

bited by a dog

D.

Paul was

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains a grammatical error.
Explanation:
· The past participle of the verb “bite” is “bitten,” not “bited.”
· The sentence is in passive voice, so the correct form is: was + past participle (V3)
· → Paul was bitten by a dog.
Grammatical Rule Used:
In passive constructions, we use:
· was/were + V3 (past participle)
Grammar Booster:
Irregular verbs do not follow the -ed rule.
· bite → bit → bitten (V1 → V2 → V3)
· Example: She was bitten by a snake. ✅
