DSSSB ASO 202629 Sep 2026Shift ISubject-Verb Agreement

Choose the correct form of the erroneous sentence.

They is studying English and practices speaking daily.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) They are studying English and practice speaking daily.

Concept (Subject-Verb Agreement: They Are and Practice)
Subject 'They' बहुवचन है, अतः helping verb 'are' आएगा, 'is' नहीं। 'and' से जुड़ी दूसरी क्रिया भी बहुवचन subject से मेल खाएगी, अर्थात् 'practices' के स्थान पर 'practice' होगा।
शुद्ध वाक्य: They are studying English and practice speaking daily.
Exam trap: दोनों में से केवल एक त्रुटि पहचानना; 'is' और 'practices' दोनों को एक साथ सुधारना होगा।
Concept (Subject-Verb Agreement: They Are and Practice)
The subject 'They' is plural, so the helping verb is 'are', not 'is'. The second verb, joined by 'and', must also agree with the plural subject, so it is 'practice', not 'practices'.
Correct sentence: They are studying English and practice speaking daily.
Exam trap: spotting only one of the two errors; both 'is' and 'practices' must be corrected together.
