Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

I have visited the Red Fort many times when I was a child.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (A) I have visited

when I was a child एक निश्चित अतीत का समय है।
Concept: किसी बीते हुए निश्चित समय के लिए past indefinite visited आता है, present perfect नहीं।
✓
I visited the Red Fort many times when I was a child.
'many times' विद्यार्थियों को perfect बनाए रखने के लिए लुभाता है, परंतु वह गलत है।
सरल अर्थ: मैं बचपन में लाल किला कई बार घूमने गया था।
when I was a child is a definite past time.
Concept: a named past time takes the past indefinite, visited, never the present perfect.
✓
I visited the Red Fort many times when I was a child.
'many times' tempts students to keep the perfect.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

Barticle अनावश्यक लगा, इसलिए 'the Red Fort' गलत लगा। परंतु 'the Red Fort' सही proper noun (व्यक्तिवाचक संज्ञा) phrase है; त्रुटि 'have visited' में है।'the Red Fort' looked wrong because the article may seem unnecessary; but 'the Red Fort' is a correct proper noun phrase, and the error is 'have visited'.
Cआवृत्ति के कारण perfect प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु यह भाग शुद्ध है।'many times' looked like a reason to keep the perfect; but it is a correct phrase, and 'when I was a child' needs the simple past.
Dperfect के पास 'when I was a child' संदिग्ध लगा। परंतु यह सही है और यही संकेत है कि 'have visited' को 'visited' होना चाहिए।'when I was a child' looked suspicious next to the perfect; but it is correct and it is the clue that 'have visited' must be 'visited'.
