Key Points
- The error here lies in the use of the preposition.
- Replace "on" with "in" to make the sentence correct.
- “In” and “on” are both time-based prepositions. We can use them in different ways when we want to talk about specific periods.
- We use in with morning, afternoon, evening and night when we are referring to a general time.
- For example- I always work best in the morning.
- But we use on when we talk about a specific morning, afternoon, etc., or when we describe the part of the day.
- For example- On the morning of the 19th, I will have to rush to school.
- The given sentence is talking about a general time in the morning, so the preposition "in" should be used here.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which contains the error in it.
Corrected sentence: They will go to bed early since they have to get up at five in the morning.
