Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.I prefer to read than to write.
  • B.Each student must bring his pen and paper.
  • C.Several years have passed since I saw you.
  • D.I have purchased a pair of socks.

Answer: A

Correct answer: I prefer to read than to write.

Prefer is followed by to, not than, and the two things compared must take the same form: I prefer reading to writing. With infinitives the idiom is I would rather read than write.

The other three are sound:

  • Each student must bring his pen and paper - each is singular.
  • Several years have passed since I saw you - the past simple after since is correct.
  • I have purchased a pair of socks - correct.
