    Question

    In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
    We are yet living in the same house.

    A.

    We are

    B.

    same house

    C.

    in the

    D.

    yet living

    Correct option is D

    Explanation of Error:
    The expression “yet living” is incorrect in this context. The correct word to use is “still”, not “yet”.
    · Correct: We are still living in the same house.
    · Incorrect: We are yet living...
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · “Yet” is typically used in negative sentences or questions, and usually placed at the end of the sentence:
    · She hasn’t arrived yet.
    · Have you finished your homework yet?
    · “Still” is used in affirmative sentences to indicate an ongoing action:
    · We are still waiting for the bus.
    Information Booster:
    · Still = action is continuing.
    · Yet = action is expected to happen but hasn’t.
    Corrected Sentence:
    We are still living in the same house.
    Thus, the error is in option (d) yet living.
