Bonnie · Answer 1

The error in the given sentence is that, the verb tenses for both clauses are not parallel. There is an issue of parallelism in the sentence. The first clause used the past form of the verb which is "spent", but the second clause uses the present form of the verb which is "is never away". Therefore, both verbs should either be in the past form, or in the present form and should be parallel.
