Directions: The sentence is underlined in four separate parts and is labelled a, b, c and d. Read the sentence and find the error. (d) signifies no error.

(a) At the party, (b) Sania ate pasta, drank coke (c) and was dancing salsa. (d) No error.

Here, (c) is incorrect. The sentence lists the activities, which Sania did at the party – ate pasta, drank coke and was dancing salsa, which are all verbs and all verbs in a sentence must agree in tense and number. Here, the sentence contains two singular simple past tense (ate and drank), but one singular past progressive verb (was dancing). But, the verbs should all match. So, the correct should be, ‘danced’, instead of ‘was dancing’.
