    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.
