SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 6

SSC CGL - 13 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q6

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. By the end of / this month, he / will been working / for five years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. will been working.

The error occurs because the correct form for expressing an ongoing action until a future point is the future perfect continuous tense, which requires "will have been" followed by the present participle (working).

The phrase "will been working" is incorrect because it omits the auxiliary "have."

Therefore, the correct form is "will have been working."
