Grammar: Preposition

Question:

From the given options, fill in the blank with the most suitable preposition:

Seema has been visiting the bank daily _____ last Monday.

Options:

for

by

since

through

Correct Answer:

since

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → since

  • The phrase "last Monday" refers to a specific point in time in the past.
  • "Since" is used when referring to a point in time from which an action started and continues.
  • "Seema has been visiting the bank daily since last Monday" correctly indicates that she started visiting the bank on Monday and has continued doing so.

 

OTHER OPTIONS

 "For" – Used for a duration (e.g., "for three days"), but here, we have a specific starting point ("last Monday").
  "By" – Used to indicate a deadline or a point before which something happens (e.g., "by Monday"). It does not fit here.
  "Through" – Used to indicate movement across a place or a period (e.g., "through the year"), which is incorrect for a specific start point.
