SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 137

SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q137

Find the incorrect part of the sentence:

He has come yesterday.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Verb Tense Error: The sentence uses the present perfect tense ("has come"). This tense cannot be used with a specific point of time in the past, such as yesterday, last week, or in 1990.

Rule: When a specific past time is mentioned, the simple past tense must be used instead.

Correction: The correct sentence should be: "He came yesterday."
