Point out the part of the sentence which has an error. If there is no error, mark option '4'.
In order to saving money, we has /(A) to cut down our expenses and /(B) stop buying things that we don't need./(C)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A
Errors in part (A):
- In order to shows purpose and is followed by the base form of the verb:
- "in order to saving" is wrong; it should be "in order to save".
- The subject we takes have, not "has":
- "has" goes only with he, she, it or a singular noun.
- The correct sentence is "In order to save money, we have to cut down our expenses and stop buying things that we don't need."
Example: She left early in order to catch the first bus.
(A) In order to saving money, we has — Error. "saving" should be save, and "has" should be have.
Corrected: In order to save money, we have
(B) to cut down our expenses and — No error. Cut down means to reduce, and "have to" takes the base form "cut".
(C) stop buying things that we don't need. — No error. Stop takes the -ing form when an activity is ended.
