Find out the error part of the following sentences:
We should drink (1)/ several glasses of the water (2)/ daily (3)/ if we want to remain healthy (4)/ No error
- ‘of water’ in place of ‘of the water’ because article is not used before uncountable noun
The correct sentence should be "We should drink several glasses of water daily if we want to remain healthy".
The sentence has four parts:
1. We should drink (1)
2. several glasses of water (2)
3. daily (3)
4. if we want to remain healthy (4)
The error in this sentence is in the second part. The correct word is "water" and not "the water". The word "the" should not be used here as it suggests that water is referring to a specific kind of water.
Definition of water:
Water is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of most living organisms.
