    Did you tell to your mother that you saw her friend at the theater?

    Solutions
    Option D has the grammatically incorrect part. We don’t use the preposition ‘to’ after the verb ‘tell’. We directly use the object after it. Thus, remove the preposition ‘to’ after the verb ‘tell’ to make the sentence grammatically sound.

    Option D has the grammatically incorrect part. The use of “commuting” is erroneous. This is a sentence of the simple present tense (as it discusses a general problem). Thus, replace the word ‘commuting’ with ‘commute’ (as the noun here is ‘people’) to make the sentence grammatically sound.

    Have I ever told you what lovely pickles my grandmother used to made when she was in Visakhapatnam?

    Solutions

    The sentence is grammatically incorrect and the error lies in option C. While structuring an infinitive we use the base form of the verb, thus “made” will be replaced with “make”.

    E.g. :- I like to play cricket.

    Hence option C is the correct answer.

    The whole comedy is a study of stupid and baseness acted on by roguery.
    Solutions

    The sentence is grammatically incorrect and error lies in option C. Here, conjunction 'and' connects an adjective (stupid) with a noun ('baseness' means unworthiness by virtue of lacking higher values). As per the structure of sentence, we require a noun here, not an adjective, thus, 'stupid' should be replaced with the noun "stupidity" to make sentence grammatically correct.
