Find the error: The teacher makes the students completing their homework every day.
Created: 1 week ago
A
makes
B
completing
C
everyday
D
none of these.
Correct Answer: The teacher makes the students complete their homework every day.
Explanation:
-
"Make" is a causative verb, which is used when the subject causes someone else to perform an action. In this case, the teacher (subject) causes the students (object) to complete their homework (action).
-
Structure of causative verb with "make":
-
Make + object + base form of verb
-
Example: She makes her kids brush their teeth before bed.
-
Example: My boss makes me stay late at work sometimes.
-
-
Important Note: Unlike other verbs, after "make," the verb following the object is always in its base form, not infinitive or gerund.
-
This sentence is an independent clause because it expresses a complete thought and can stand alone.
More Examples:
-
Parents make their children do household chores.
-
The coach makes the players run extra laps for practice.
-
Teachers make students revise their lessons regularly.
