Which part of the sentence contains an error? 'She (A) suggested me (B) to read (C) the article (D) before the meeting.'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Part A: 'suggested me' cannot be followed by 'to read'
- Step 1: The verb 'suggest' does not take an object followed by the infinitive. Step 2. Correct patterns are 'suggested that I read' or 'advised me to read'. Answer: Part A. Why not the others: The infinitive, the object and the time phrase would be correct with the right verb.
