In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the button corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No error' option.
He tried to say that (1)/ we see the world, not (2)/ as it is, but as we were. (3)/ No error (4)
The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the verb 'were' in simple past tense is incorrect. The sentence mentions a fact or a perception of a person so the tense will always remain simple present tense. Thus 'were' should become 'are.'
Correct sentence - He tried to say that we see the world, not as it is, but as we are.
