Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Our class teacher asked Sunita to read her poem aloud at the assembly.
Verb + person + to-verb:
- Verbs such as ask, want, allow, advise and tell take the person first and then a to-verb (to + base form). No preposition comes before the person.
- This sentence has “asked Sunita to read”: the verb, the person, then the to-verb. So it is right.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: My parents want that I become a doctor like my uncle. — Incorrect. The given sentence says “want that I become”. “Want” is not followed by a “that” clause. It takes the person and then a to-verb.
Corrected: My parents want me to become a doctor like my uncle.
Option 2: The teacher did not allow us go out during the thunderstorm. — Incorrect. The given sentence says “allow us go”. After “allow” + person, the verb needs “to”.
Corrected: The teacher did not allow us to go out during the thunderstorm.
Option 3: The coach advised to the players to sleep early before the final match. — Incorrect. The given sentence says “advised to the players”. “Advise” takes the person directly, with no “to” before the person.
Corrected: The coach advised the players to sleep early before the final match.
