Spot the error in the sentence given below :
Some people is always talking about themselves.
Answer: C
The error is in is always talking; it should be are always talking.
The subject Some people is plural, so it takes a plural verb: Some people are always talking about themselves. The present continuous with always is correctly used here to describe an irritating habit.
Some people is a correct subject, and about themselves correctly uses the plural reflexive pronoun that agrees with people. The only error is the singular verb, so 'No error' is wrong.
