Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is '1' i.e. I'm tired of working .
Key Points
- Option 1 is grammatically correct and conveys the idea of being tired due to working.
- Option 2, "I am tired to working," is incorrect because "tired" should be followed by "of" when expressing fatigue related to an activity.
- Option 3, "I'm tiring of working," is incorrect because "tiring" implies an ongoing process and does not fit the context of the sentence.
- Option 4, "I'm tired and working," is grammatically correct but does not answer the question as intended since it implies two separate actions.
Correct sentence: I'm tired of working.
Additional Information
- Usage of "tired of":
- "Tired of" is used to express irritation, boredom, or exhaustion caused by a repeated activity or situation.
- Example: I'm tired of waiting for the bus.
- Common Errors:
- Using "tired to" instead of "tired of" is a common grammatical mistake.
- "Tiring" cannot replace "tired" in this context as it changes the meaning of the sentence.
