Question
Find out which part of a sentence has an error.
If you turn the corner, (a)/ you will found a house (b)/ built of stone. (c)/ No Error (d)
- A. a
- B. b (Correct answer)
- C. c
- D. d
Correct Answer
Option B — b
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is b.
Key Points
- Part (b), *"you will found a house"*, is wrong. After the modal will, English requires the bare infinitive — will find, never *will found*.
- Found is the past tense of *find*; a past form can never follow *will*.
- The sentence is a first-conditional structure: *If you turn the corner* (present simple) → *you will find* (will + base verb).
Additional Information
- The verb *to found* (meaning "to establish") does exist, but its object would be an institution, not a house one comes across — and it would still be *will found* only in the sense of *establish*.
- Part (c), *built of stone*, is a correct reduced relative clause standing for *which is built of stone*.
