Question

Which sentence has an inappropriate shift in person?

They were happy to go to the fair, where they could play games.

I like living in the city, where I can meet lots of new people.

When my dad was a kid, you had to walk to school every day.

When my grandfather was young, people made a lot of their own food.

Answer 1

The first one "they were happy to go to the fair, where they could play games."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part says "they were happy to go to the fair" with "were" being in present form (past form would be 'was', future form would be 'would'). The second half says "where they could play games." and 'could' is in future tense.

The first half has a present tense verb while the second half has a future tense verb. So the answer is 1.
