In the following questions, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No Error' option. He has been staying (P)/ with his parents (Q)/ at the moment (R)/ No error(S). Correct Answer P

The error lies in part P of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 1.

Here, the present perfect continuous tense 'has been staying' is used with the subject 'he' which is incorrect as it should only be used to show an action that started in the past and is continuing in the present. For example- Sahil has been working on his project for the last two weeks (meaning that Sahil started work on the project two weeks ago and is still continuing to work on it)

But in the given sentence, the phrase 'at the moment' indicates that the action of living with his parents is taking place at the present time so in this case, present continuous tense should be used. Present continuous tense is used to show actions which are taking place at the time of speaking or currently.

For example- Ruchi is pursuing higher studies in Paris. (it means she is currently enrolled in a university or college in Paris)

Correct Sentence- He is staying with his parents at the moment.
