Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'who live in Pune' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.
Key Points
- In the given sentence, the plural form of the verb ''live'' is incorrect.
- The subject 'brother' in the given sentence is a singular subject.
- The singular form of the verb 'lives' should be used with the singular subject 'brother'.
- Therefore, the singular form of the verb ''lives'' should be used in place of the plural form 'live'.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
Correct sentence: My brother who lives in Pune is arriving tomorrow.
Additional Information
- Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number (singular or plural). (विषय और क्रिया एक दूसरे के साथ संख्या (एकवचन या बहुवचन) में सहमत होना चाहिए)
- Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if the subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. (इस प्रकार, यदि कोई विषय एकवचन है , तो उसकी क्रिया भी एकवचन होनी चाहिए ; यदि विषय बहुवचन है , तो उसकी क्रिया भी बहुवचन होनी चाहिए)
Hinglish
- दिए गए वाक्य में क्रिया 'live' का बहुवचन रूप गलत है ।
- दिए गए वाक्य में subject 'brother' एक एकवचन subject है।
- क्रिया का एकवचन रूप 'lives', एकवचन subject 'brother' के साथ प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
- इसलिए बहुवचन क्रिया 'live' के स्थान पर एकवचन क्रिया 'lives' का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
अत: सही उत्तर विकल्प 3 है।
सही वाक्य: My brother who lives in Pune is arriving tomorrow.
