Q. I forgot (1) / to return back (2) / the books (3) / to you. (4) / No Error (5)- Published on 31 Jan 17a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 2
Remove '
back'.
'Return' means to give back. Use of 'back' with 'return' is incorrect.
The correct sentence would be: I forgot to
return the books to you.
Do not use
‘back’ with any of the following words:
| Recast, Recall, Recede, Reiterate, Rebuild, Repeat, Recapitulate, Retreat, Reimburse, Return |
The same rule applies for the use of
'again'.
Do not use
'again' with the following words:
| Recast, Recall, Recede, Reiterate, Rebuild, Repeat, Recapitulate, Retreat, Reimburse, Return |
Example: Please
repeat again the sentence.
'Repeat' itself means 'to do again'.
The correct sentence should be: Please
repeat the sentence.
