Key Points
- In the sentence "I had take a vow of celibacy which was a part of my training while I was in the temple," the grammatical error lies in the phrase "I had take a vow of celibacy."
- This sentence uses the past perfect tense incorrectly.
- The past perfect tense is used to express that an action took place and was completed in the past before another past action.
- In the past perfect tense, we use "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
- In the given sentence, "take" is incorrectly used as the past participle of the main verb "take".
- The correct past participle of "take" is "taken".
- The corrected phrase should be "I had taken a vow of celibacy..."
- Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Correct sentence: "I had taken a vow of celibacy which was a part of my training while I was in the temple."
