Editing Exercise

November 4, 2019 - B2pdf

Identify the word that has to be removed from the following sentences to make them grammatically correct.
Progress 0 of 12 answered
1They went out despite of the rain.
Wrong!
Use "despite" without "of" in this sentence.
2Raju, who is my cousin, he is a painter.
Wrong!
The pronoun "he" is unnecessary because the relative clause already identifies Raju.
3No matter what that I do, nothing seems to work.
Wrong!
After "No matter what", do not add "that" before the subject.
4We discussed about his problems when we met yesterday.
Wrong!
The verb "discuss" is used without "about" before the object.
5That boy over there he is my son.
Wrong!
The pronoun "he" is unnecessary because "That boy over there" is already the subject.
6I have left my keys on the table yesterday.
Wrong!
Do not use the present perfect auxiliary "have" with the finished past time "yesterday".
7I want that you to tell me what happened.
Wrong!
After "want", use object + infinitive, so "that" is unnecessary.
8As you know that I work very hard.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Either "As" or "that" can be removed to make a correct sentence.
9He plays the hockey for a local team.
Wrong!
Use the sport name without the article "the" here.
10What a terrible weather we are having.
Wrong!
Because "weather" is uncountable, the article "a" is unnecessary.
11I had left my keys on the table yesterday.
Wrong!
For a simple finished past action, the auxiliary "had" is unnecessary.
12She resembles of her mother.
Wrong!
The verb "resemble" is used without the preposition "of".
Done.
