SSC CGL Tier II - English - 29th Jan 2022 • English • Q49

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

We yet / have time / to catch / the bus.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. We yet.

  • The error lies in the option 2 due to the wrong usage of the word 'yet'.
  • The word yet refers to an event/action that hasn't yet happened but is presumed to happen.

  • The correct word which should be used in the sentence is 'still' which refers to show that something continues up to a time in the past, present or future.

The correct sentence will be:-

We still have time to catch the bus.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. We yet.
