Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
We were living (1) / in Canada for (2) / around eight years. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The phrase "were living" should be replaced with "lived" to convey the intended meaning. The sentence discusses a past action, and the past continuous tense "were living" suggests ongoing or continuous action in the past which is grammatically inconsistent with the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We lived in Canada for around eight years."
