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)

  1. A. a
  2. B. b (Correct answer)
  3. C. c
  4. 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*.
