Question 1 / 100

Select the option that contains a grammatical error in the underlined portion.

When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur has already been teaching there for five years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur has already been teaching there for five years.

  • The correct version of the sentence should be: 'When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur had already been teaching there for five years.'

  • The error is in the use of the present perfect tense 'has been' instead of the past perfect tense 'had been.'

  • The past perfect tense is used to indicate that an action was completed before another action in the past.
