Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
My uncle from Jaipur / has sent us a box of ghewar / during Teej last year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → has sent us a box of ghewar
The given sentence says “has sent ... last year”. This is wrong. The present perfect tense (has / have + past participle (V3)) is not used with a finished time in the past. “Last year” is such a time, so the verb must be in the simple past: sent.
Option 1: My uncle from Jaipur — No error.
Option 2: has sent us a box of ghewar — Error. “has sent” should be “sent”.
Option 3: during Teej last year — No error. This time phrase is fine. It is the verb that must match it.
Corrected: My uncle from Jaipur sent us a box of ghewar during Teej last year.
