In the following questions, some parts of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is free from error, your answer is No error.
I really do regret not to learn to play the violin when I had so many opportunities to learn and practise in school.
The error is in part B of the sentence.
There are some verbs which sometimes takes a to infinitive after it or a gerund. Eg: regret, forget, remember, stop, try.
A gerund expresses a past action and an infinitive expresses a future action.
Here, a past action is being expressed. So here it has to be a gerund. Thus, the correct sentence is ‘I really do regret not learning to play..’.
