    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    My aunt Geeta, is knowing my friend Rudransh very well.

    A.

    very well

    B.

    My aunt Geeta

    C.

    is knowing

    D.

    my friend Rudransh

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    The verb phrase "is knowing" is incorrect here.
    "Know" is a stative (non-continuous) verb which expresses a state, not an action.
    Stative verbs such as know, believe, like, love, hate, own, etc., are generally not used in the continuous tense forms.
    The correct sentence should be: "My aunt Geeta knows my friend Rudransh very well."
    Grammatical rule used:
    Stative verbs are used to describe a state or condition rather than an action. These verbs do not normally take the continuous form.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: I am knowing the answer.
    · Correct: I know the answer.
    Information Booster:
    Stative verbs like believe, know, understand, love, hate do not use "-ing" form in Present Continuous Tense because they describe a state, not an ongoing process.
