Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Sheetal always became nervous / whenever she gets instructions / from her Physics / teacher at the lab.

A.

teacher at the lab

B.

Sheetal always became nervous

C.

whenever she gets instructions

D.

from her Physics

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error. The error indeed lies in segment (b) "Sheetal always became nervous."
The correct tense usage should align with the present tense found in segment (c) "whenever she gets instructions," suggesting that these events are ongoing or habitual. Thus, the phrase should be "Sheetal always becomes nervous" to maintain consistent tense usage across the sentence.
Grammatical rule used: When describing habitual or ongoing actions in the present, the verb should be in the simple present tense. Example: He always feels happy when he plays soccer.
