Answer 1

The 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.
