🔍 Spot the mistake! One sentence below has an error. Drag the correct forms to fix all the sentences.

Sentence 1: "I remember meeting my best friend for the first time—we were both five years old."

Sentence 2: The wifi wasn't working, so I tried unplugging the router and plugging it back in.

Sentence 3: On my walk home, I stopped to buy some snacks at the corner shop.

The correct answer is meeting.

Remember + gerund (-ing form) = recall a past experience. This is a childhood memory, not a future task. The common mistake "I remember to meet her last summer" uses the wrong form—past memories need the gerund!

The correct answer is unplugging.

Try + gerund (-ing form) = experiment with a method. You tested unplugging as a troubleshooting technique.

The correct answer is to buy.

Stop + to-infinitive = pause another action in order to do something. You paused your walk for the purpose of buying snacks.
