Find out whether there is any grammatical error in below sentence. Since I meet / Dinesh last Saturday / he has been contacting me / everyday over phone.

Since I meet
Dinesh last Saturday
he has been contacting me
everyday over phone E. No error

The correct answer is: A. Since I meet

The sentence should be: “Since I met Dinesh last Saturday, he has been contacting me everyday over the phone.”

The verb “meet” requires a direct object, so the sentence should read “I met Dinesh.” The preposition “since” is used to indicate a time in the past, so the sentence should read

“Since I met Dinesh last Saturday.” The verb “has been contacting” is in the present perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action that began in the past and continues into the present. The direct object of the verb “contacting” is “me,” so the sentence should read “he has been contacting me.” The adverb “everyday” is used to indicate that an action occurs on a regular basis, but it is not appropriate to use it with the verb “contact.” The preposition “over” is used to indicate a means of communication, so the sentence should read “over the phone.”
