Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
I had to got up early, so I have been in a daze all morning.
Option 1: had to get up
Option 2: No improvement
Option 3: have to got in
Option 4: has to get on
Correct Answer: had to get up
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The original sentence incorrectly used "got" as the past tense, but it should be get up as the "infinitive to" follows the base form of the verb to convey the intended meaning. The improved version maintains the correct tense, making the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I had to get up early.
