Which of the following sentences is correctly formed?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Arjun never skips his morning practice on the harmonium.
Place of “never” in a sentence:
- Words like never, always and often come just before the main verb when there is no helping verb.
- Here the main verb is “skips”, so “never” comes before it: never skips.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Never Arjun skips his morning practice on the harmonium. — Incorrect. When “Never” starts a sentence, a helping verb must come before the subject (“Never does Arjun skip”).
Option 3: Arjun skips never his morning practice on the harmonium. — Incorrect. “Never” cannot come after the main verb “skips”.
Option 4: Arjun does never skip his morning practice on the harmonium. — Incorrect. “Never” is already negative, so it does not take “does” before it. It goes straight before “skips”.
