English question from Naib Tehsildar exam, 2018 by JKSSB

Rearrange the following jumbled up sentence into a meaningful one.

asked/I/come/to/him/today

Last updated Sep 22, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — I asked him to come today.
To rearrange a jumbled sentence correctly, it helps to follow the standard English sentence structure: Subject + Verb + Object + Phrase.

Breaking Down the Structure
Subject: Who is doing the action? (I)

Verb: What is the action? (asked)

Object: Who received the action? (him)

Infinitive Phrase: What was he asked to do? (to come)

Adverb of Time: When? (today)

Why the others are incorrect
A) I asked to come him today: This incorrectly places the object "him" after the infinitive "to come." In English, the person being asked must follow the verb "asked" immediately.

C & D: These options confuse the verb tenses and the placement of "today," resulting in a sentence that doesn't follow logical English syntax.
