Question

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
Where have you been born?
a)No error
b)Were you born?
c)Have you born?
d)Did you born?

Answer 1

Hint: “have you been” is present perfect tense. A person cannot be born in the present. The question must be in past tense.

Complete step by step answer:
 “Have you been” will be replaced by past tense. Option d – “did you born” is incorrect as the word ‘born’ is the past participle of the word ‘bear’. The bare infinitive must be used after “did”. Thus, option d is incorrect.

Option c “Have you born?” is incorrect too as ‘have’ is only used when one is speaking in the present tense.

Option b “Were you born?” is the correct past tense. The sentence will be “Where were you born?

Option a, no error is invalid as the sentence has an error and we have found the correct answer to it.

Note: Did is the past participle of do. With did we use the present participle and in the option given, past participle has been used which makes it grammatically incorrect.
