SPOT THE ERROR:There is so few cars this time of the morning, but I thought anyway - I knew I could get the bus.
Correct answer: A. Is
- A. Is
- B. Few
- C. But
- D. Knew
Explanation
Replace "is" with "are":The original sentence is incorrect because "few" is used as an adjective for countable nouns, so it should be "so few cars." Changing "is" to "are" makes it correct by matching the plural subject "cars"The original sentence is incorrect because "few" is used as an adjective for countable nouns, so it should be "so few cars."
