Question 1 / 3

1
Change the underlined phrase 'of posting' to the correct verb form in the sentence: 'Please remind meof postingthese letters to my relatives.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Examine the verb 'remind' and the phrase that follows it: 'remind me of posting'. Step 2: When 'remind' is used to refer to an action that someone needs to perform in the future, it is typically followed by an infinitive construction: 'remind someone to do something'. Step 3: The phrase 'of posting' uses a gerund. While 'remind someone of something' (e.g., 'remind me of my past mistakes') is correct for a memory or general fact, for an action yet 'to be done', the infinitive is the standard and preferred form. Step 4: Therefore, 'to post' is the correct infinitive form that completes the phrase 'remind me to post'. Step 5: The sentence should read: 'Please remind me to post these letters to my relatives.'

Substitute the underlined phrase 'trying to find' with the most suitable option in the sentence: 'It will be no goodtrying to findan excuse next time.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the phrase 'It will be no good trying to find'. The idiom 'It is no good/use + gerund' (e.g., 'It's no good trying') is a standard and common construction. Step 2: However, grammar questions sometimes present alternative grammatical constructions. Step 3: The option 'to try to find' replaces the gerund phrase with an infinitive phrase. While less common idiomatically, 'It will be no good to try...' is an alternative grammatical construction. Step 4: This choice focuses on changing the verb pattern from a gerund to an infinitive, providing a different, though perhaps less natural, way to express the same idea. Step 5: Therefore, 'to try to find' is the chosen improvement, offering a gramatically acceptable infinitive construction.

0:00
Solution: Step 1: The sentence given is: The tourist wasn't able to finding / a map in / the hotel. Step 2: The error is in the phrase "wasn't able to finding". Step 3: The correct phrase should be "wasn't able to find" because 'able to' is followed by the base form of the verb. Step 4: Therefore, the part with the error is "wasn't able to finding". Step 5: The corrected sentence is: The tourist wasn't able to find a map in the hotel.
