Pick the incorrect part in the given sentence.
Please do not tell Rohan / about the gift we bought for Papa, / because the plan must stay / a secret between you and I.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → a secret between you and I
The given sentence says “between you and I”. This is wrong. “Between” is a preposition, and a pronoun after a preposition takes its object form. The object form of “I” is “me”. So the right form is between you and me.
Option 1: Please do not tell Rohan — No error.
Option 2: about the gift we bought for Papa, — No error.
Option 3: because the plan must stay — No error.
Option 4: a secret between you and I — Error. “between you and I” should be “between you and me”.
Corrected: Please do not tell Rohan about the gift we bought for Papa, because the plan must stay a secret between you and me.
