Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
Sentence: Rita was been cooking for me for I left my job.
I. Rita has been cooking for me since I left my job.
II. Rita is cooking for me since I left my job.
III. Rita is been cook for me since I left my job.

Correct option is D

The correct sentence is (d) Only I is correct.
Explanation:
· Sentence I uses present perfect continuous tense (“has been cooking”) which is correct when an action started in the past and continues up to the present.
· “Since I left my job” – implies a point in the past, thus the use of “has been cooking” is ideal.
· Sentence II: “is cooking” doesn’t fit with “since I left” (requires perfect tense).
· Sentence III: “is been cook” is grammatically wrong— incorrect verb form and sequence.
Grammatical rule used:
✔ Use “has/have been + verb-ing” for actions continuing from a point in the past until now.
Example: She has been studying since morning.
�� Information Booster: Use “since” with perfect tenses to show continuity from a point in the past.
