SSC CPO - 27 June 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q37

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that has a grammatical error.

I am working with him since 2002, / but even today / I am unable / to understand his motives.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. I am working with him since 2002.

  • The grammatical error is in the segment "I am working with him since 2002."
  • The present continuous tense ("am working") is not appropriate for actions that started in the past and continue into the present.
  • Instead, the present perfect continuous tense should be used: "I have been working with him since 2002." This tense correctly indicates that the action began in the past and continues to the present.
