Download Solution PDFThe erroneous part of the sentence is: have save enough money
Key Points
- The correct phrase is 'have saved', not 'have save'.
- The present perfect tense is used here to indicate an action that started in the past and continues up to the present.
- "have" is an auxiliary verb used to form the present perfect tense.
- In this case, it's used to show that an action was completed in the past and has relevance to the present.
- "saved" is the past participle form of the verb "save," which is used in conjunction with the auxiliary verb "have" to create the present perfect tense.
- So, the correct form is "have saved."
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Corrected sentence: I think Jeremy will not have saved enough money by the time the year ends.
