Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.
Praneel is only two now / so he has not / started talk yet.

A.

started talk yet

B.

Praneel is only two now

C.

so he has not

D.

No error

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
Explanation: The verb "talk" is incorrect in this structure. After "started," we need the -ing form (gerund) of the verb. The correct phrase is “ started talking.”
Grammatical rule used:
· After verbs like start, begin, stop, enjoy, use gerund (verb + ing) form.
Example:
Incorrect – She started read the book.
Correct – She started reading the book.
Information Booster:
When “start” is followed by a verb, always use verb + ing unless followed by a noun directly.
