Dryden plans to take his car to the repair shop after work because the engine sound strange.

Question

What change, if any, should be made to this sentence?
A.
Change sound to sounds.
B.
Change plans to plan.
C.
No change is necessary.
D.
Change take to takes.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Change "sound" to "sounds."

The revised sentence should read: "Dryden plans to take his car to the repair shop after work because the engine sounds strange."

The subject "engine" is singular, so the verb should be "sounds" to agree with it.
