Can you identify the grammatically incorrect sentence from each set?

Option 3: "He told me that he will be late." is the grammatically incorrect sentence.

In reported speech (telling someone what another person said), the verb tense must shift back one step into the past. Since "told" is past tense, "will" must become "would."

Example: If your friend says, "I will be late," and you tell your mom about it later, you'd say, "He told me that he would be late."

The other options are all correct:

• Option 1 correctly uses the subjunctive mood ("take" instead of "takes") after "suggested." ✅
• Option 2 correctly uses past tense ("came") after "I'd rather you…" even when talking about the future. ✅
• Option 4 correctly uses "had listened" (past perfect) with "If only" to express regret about the past. ✅
