SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 24

SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q24

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
He will has been helping me with tending to my plants.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. 'He will has been'.

The phrase 'He will has been' is ungrammatical because it improperly combines two auxiliary verbs ('will' and 'has') together, leading to a verb tense error. The correct usage in future perfect continuous tense is either:

- 'He will have been helping me...' or

- 'He will be helping me...', depending on context.

Let’s examine the other parts:

'with tending' – grammatically fine.

'helping me' – correct usage.

'to my plants' – no issues here.
