    After weeks spent indoor, what have we learnt from our time at home?

    Solutions

    The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and error lies in option B. ‘Indoor’ is an adjective which means located, or taking place within a building. But, after the verb ‘spent’ (second form of verb spend), we need an adverb that modifies it and not an adjective. Thus, replace adjective ‘indoor’ with the adverb ‘indoors’ (which means within a building).

    My friend Jina has to cut off on sugary sweets as she’s on a diet now.

    Please note that you will be eligible for the voucher only if you had received this email.

    Solutions
    The sentence is grammatically incorrect and the error lies in option B. “Had” will be replaced with “have” as “Present perfect tense” is used for an action that happened in the past and has present consequences. It is also used for something that happened in the past but is important in the present. The person might have received the email in the past, but it is relevant and important in the present.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    I was watching that programme every week since it started.
    Solutions

     Option A has the grammatically incorrect part. The sentence has the conjunction “since” and is followed by a simple past tense. Therefore, the first part should be in the present perfect continuous tense. Replace “was watching” with “have been watching” to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    Some people is always talking about themselves.

    Solutions

    Option D has the grammatically incorrect part. ‘Is’ should be replaced with ‘are’ because our subject 'people' is plural, so a plural helping verb should be used i.e. ‘are’. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
