SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 14

SSC CHSL - 07 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q14

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

I am / walking in the / Cross Road Garden / since morning.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. I am.

"Since" is used to indicate a point in time.

When describing an action that started in the past and is still continuing, we use the present perfect continuous tense (has/have been + verb-ing), not the present continuous.

Here, the person is walking since morning and thus, present perfect continuous tense is used.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "I have been walking in the Cross Road Garden since morning."
