    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    Many of my friends / spoke highly / of a film / which I have seen it yesterday.

    A.

    which I have seen it yesterday

    B.

    of a film

    C.

    Many of my friends

    D.

    spoke highly

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    Explanation:
    The phrase “which I have seen it yesterday” has two major issues:
    1. "Have seen" is present perfect tense, which is not used with a definite past time reference like “yesterday”.
    2. The pronoun "it" is redundant after "which".
    Correct sentence:
    “...a film which I saw yesterday.”
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Present perfect tense ( has/have + V3) is not used with adverbs of past time (like yesterday, last year, ago).
    · Relative pronoun “which” already refers to the object, so “it” is not required.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: I have seen the movie yesterday.
    · Correct: I saw the movie yesterday.
    Information Booster:
    Use simple past with time-specific references (yesterday, last week, etc.).
