Question

Correct any one of the following sentences: There am large number of girls in this school.
He is tired in doing this work.

Hint:

- Always match the verb with the subject in number (singular/plural).
- Some adjectives like “tired,” “fond,” “afraid” take fixed prepositions (e.g., tired of, fond of).

Answer 1

There are a large number of girls in this school.
Explanation:
- The verb “am” is incorrect because the subject “a large number of girls” is plural.
- Hence, we need to use “are” instead of “am.”
- Correct sentence: “There are a large number of girls in this school.”
He is tired of doing this work.
Explanation:
- The phrase “tired in doing” is grammatically wrong.
- The correct preposition used with “tired” is “of.”
- Correct sentence: “He is tired of doing this work.”
