3. There is an error in each sentence given below.  Identify the error and supply the correct word  

for it. 

a. By the time we reaches the station, the train had already left. 

b. He suggested to take a taxi to save time. 

Rule: After verbs like suggest, recommend, advise, etc., the gerund form (verb + ing) is used, not the infinitive form.

c. I look forward to meet you next week. 

After “look forward to,” we use the -ing form (gerund), not the base form of the verb.

d. She has been knowing him for five years. 

The verb "know" is a stative verb (it describes a state, not an action), so it is not usually used in continuous forms like has been knowing. Instead, we use the present perfect simple: has known. (Love, Hate, Prefer, Believe, Own, Understand, Like etc. )

  • Mental states: think, believe, know, remember, understand, doubt
  • Emotions: like, love, hate, prefer, want, dislike
  • Senses: see, hear, smell, taste, feel, seem

e. It is important finishing your assignments on time. 

After “It is important”, we generally use an infinitive (to + verb) rather than a gerund (-ing form) in formal English.
