Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Identify the error in the following sentence: She don't like to play football. (2021)
  • Step 1: Look at the subject of the sentence, which is 'She'.
  • Step 2: Identify the verb form used with the subject. The verb 'don't' is used here.
  • Step 3: Understand that 'don't' is a contraction for 'do not', which is used with plural subjects or 'I' and 'you'.
  • Step 4: Recognize that 'she' is a singular subject, so we need a different contraction.
  • Step 5: Replace 'don't' with 'doesn't', which is the contraction for 'does not' and is used with singular subjects like 'he', 'she', or 'it'.
  • Step 6: The corrected sentence is 'She doesn't like to play football.'
  • Subject-Verb Agreement – Understanding how to correctly match the subject with the appropriate form of the verb 'to do' based on number and person.
