Question: 1 / 570

Which of the following is an example of a syntactical error?

I won you in soccer.

Is raining today?

A syntactical error involves issues with the structure of a sentence that affect its grammatical correctness. In the provided example, "Is raining today?" the sentence lacks a subject. The correct form should include a subject to clarify what is raining. For example, "It is raining today" corrects the issue by adding the subject "It."

The other options feature different types of errors. "I won you in soccer" implies an incorrect use of the verb "won." "I have two hand" presents an issue with subject-verb agreement due to the plural form of "hands" not being used. "The pen is in the table" incorrectly uses "in" when "on" would be appropriate for describing its position.

Recognizing these differences helps in understanding the nature of syntactical errors as they relate specifically to the structure and clarity of sentence construction.
