Of the four options in your thread title sentence, Alice, only I listened to Tom sing my favourite (BE spelling) song is incorrect.

Please post the others in separate threads (and not all at once—two today and two tomorrow), telling us if any of the options sound wrong to you.

I listened to Tom sing my favourite (BE spelling) song is incorrect.

In what way do you feel that is incorrect, Rover?
