Instructions
The following sentence may contain grammatical error(s). If so, spot the error(s).
Question 14
Even when we run the risk of losing our lives, courage make us defend what is right and oppose what is wrong.
Solution
The error lies in the verb 'make', which should agree in number with its singular subject, 'courage'. Since courage is a singular noun, the correct verb form is makes. Therefore, the sentence should read:
“Even when we run the risk of losing our lives, courage makes us defend what is right and oppose what is wrong.”
The word oppose is already correct because it properly follows us defend… and oppose, both in base form after 'makes us'. [Parallel construction]
