SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q14

The given sentence is divided into three segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'no error' as your answer.

Soumya will be speak / on 'Stress management' in / London the next week.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Soumya will be speak.

  • "Soumya will be speak" - The error here is in the verb form.

  • In English, when forming the future continuous tense, the verb "be" should be followed by the base form of the verb + "-ing." The structure should be "will be speaking."

  • The corrected form of the verb is "will be speaking," which is the future continuous tense of the verb "speak."

So, the revised sentence is:

"Soumya will be speaking on 'Stress management' in London the next week."
