Question

Identify the error in the sentence (if any):
"She don't like to play cricket."

• A. She
• B. don't
• C. like
• D. No error

Hint:

Use “doesn’t” with singular third-person subjects (he, she, it) and “don’t” with plural subjects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The sentence "She don't like to play cricket." contains an error in its verb usage. Let's examine:

Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "She" is singular, and according to English grammar, it requires a verb that matches in number—in this case, a singular verb form.

The contraction "don't" stands for "do not," which is appropriate for plural subjects or with "I" and "you." However, for singular third-person subjects (he, she, it), the correct verb form is "doesn't" (does not).

Correct Sentence:

"She doesn't like to play cricket."

Thus, the error is identified in the word "don't," which should be corrected to "doesn't" to maintain proper subject-verb agreement.
