Where is/are the mistakes in these sentences?
It's an exercise and there are 3 segments underlined (which I don't know how to do in here) to find the one or the ones that contains/contain a mistake :
"It is said that the new government is fighting for the end of the poverty in our country. I've seen a lot of politicians to promise that, but none of them had accomplished such task."
The underlined segments which I have to check if there are mistakes are: It is said, to promise that and had accomplished such a task.
I guess, but I'm not quite sure that "to promise that" and "had accomplished" are wrong. I mean I would say "promise that" and "have accomplished". Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.

Where is/are the mistakes in these sentences?(Subject-verb agreement: the subject is mistakes, the verb "to be" should be conjugated to the plural.)
It's an exercise and there are 3 segments underlined (which I don't know how to do in here) to find the one or the ones that contains/contain a mistake : (Try ctrl+u)"It is said that the new government is fighting for the end of the poverty in our country. I've seen a lot of politicians to promise that, but none of them had have accomplished such a task."
The underlined segments which/that I have to check if there are mistakes are: "It is said, to promise that and had have accomplished such a task." (this last sentence is a bit unclear. What is "that" referring to?)
I guess, but I'm not quite sure that "to promise that" and "had accomplished" are wrong. I mean I would say "promise that" and "have accomplished". Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
