Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
It is fifteen years since I (have begun) living here.
(1) began
(2) begun
(3) had begun
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
There is an error in the tense of the sentence because have begun should be replaced with began which is in the simple past tense, and is the correct form to be used in the sentence. Since is followed by the simple past tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "It is fifteen years since I began living here."
