English Grammar – Spot the Error (choose the segment with the mistake; if there is no mistake, choose ‘‘No error’’). Sentence: “Since I meet Dinesh last Saturday, he has been contacting me every day over phone.”

Introduction / Context:This question tests tense sequence with “since” and present perfect. When “since” introduces a specific past point in time, the verb in that clause must be in the simple past. The main clause then naturally takes present perfect or present perfect progressive to indicate a continuing situation from that point until now.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Marker “since” + time point: “last Saturday”.
• Main clause: present perfect progressive “has been contacting”.
• Subordinate clause has “meet” instead of “met”.

Concept / Approach:

• Rule: “since + past time point → simple past verb”.
• Therefore, “Since I met Dinesh last Saturday …”.
• Additionally, “every day” is two words; “everyday” is an adjective meaning “ordinary”. That appears in D but is often treated as style; the key tested error is the tense in A.
