Read each of the following sentences to find out whether there is an error in any part. No sentence has more than one error. If you feel there is no error in a sentence, signify a ‘No error’ response. He's enraged but he can't help but to (A)/ admire her courage and her ability (B)/ to stand up to him. (C)/ No error (D) Correct Answer A
The correct answer is A.
Key Points
- The error lies in 'He's enraged but he can't help but to'
- In this part, the usage of 'to' after 'can't help' is incorrect. Omit 'to'
- According to the rule, 'can't help but' acts as a modal verb which means 'obliged to' so, use this modal verb with the bare infinitive.
- Let's see an example:
-
She can't help but remember the comment that they were practically betrothed from the cradle.
-
So the correct sentence is:
He's enraged but he can't help but admire her courage and her ability to stand up to him.
