Key Points
- The error in the sentence "My friend has been a teacher since 10 years" lies in the use of the preposition "since" with the duration of time.
- This change ensures that the correct preposition is used to indicate the duration of time.
- Using "since" in this context would imply a specific point in time when your friend became a teacher, which may not be the intended meaning.
- Example: I have been working at the company for five years since I graduated from college.
- Instead, "for" is used to indicate the duration of time your friend has been a teacher.
- Example: She has been studying French for six months to prepare for her upcoming trip to Paris.
- The correct answer is Option 1.
Correct sentence: My friend has been a teacher for 10 years.
