Choose the part of the sentence which has an error.
Amma feels that / it is high time we bring in / the bedsheets drying / on the terrace before it rains.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → it is high time we bring in
The given sentence says “it is high time we bring in”. After “It is high time” + a person, English uses the past form of the verb, even though the meaning is about now. The past form shows that the action is already late. So the right form is it is high time we brought in.
Option 1: Amma feels that — No error.
Option 2: it is high time we bring in — Error. “bring in” should be “brought in”.
Option 3: the bedsheets drying — No error.
Option 4: on the terrace before it rains — No error. After “before”, the simple present “rains” is right for a future action.
Corrected: Amma feels that it is high time we brought in the bedsheets drying on the terrace before it rains.
