English grammar – Spot the error (choose the part with an error or “No error”). Sentence: We have keep / our promise and / you can expect / a lot from us in future.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: We have keep

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This question checks auxiliary–verb combination and perfect aspect formation. The sentence also contains a time phrase that is acceptable but often improved in formal English.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The intended tense is present perfect or a promise; after “have,” a past participle is required.
  • “In future” is understood in Indian English; “in the future” is more idiomatic internationally, but not the key error here.


Concept / Approach:
Combine auxiliary “have” with the past participle “kept” to form present perfect. Therefore Part A is incorrect as it uses the base form “keep.”



Step-by-Step Solution:

A: “We have keep” — wrong; should be “We have kept.”B: “our promise and” — correct connective phrase.C: “you can expect” — correct modal construction.D: “a lot from us in future.” — acceptable; can be improved to “in the future.”


Verification / Alternative check:

Revised: “We have kept our promise and you can expect a lot from us in the future.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Only A violates the auxiliary + participle rule; B–D are grammatically sound within exam norms.


Common Pitfalls:

Using base form after “have/has”; overlooking article usage in time phrases.


Final Answer:
We have keep
