Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
With the exam just two days away, / Pari had better to stop / scrolling through reels till midnight.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Pari had better to stop
“Had better” is used to give strong advice. It is always followed by the base form of the verb, with no “to” before it. So it must be had better stop.
Option 1: With the exam just two days away, — No error.
Option 2: Pari had better to stop — Error. “had better to stop” should be “had better stop”.
Option 3: scrolling through reels till midnight — No error. “Stop” is followed by the -ing form when it means to give up doing something, so “scrolling” is right.
Corrected: With the exam just two days away, Pari had better stop scrolling through reels till midnight.
