Key Points
- The correct phrase is 'had been practicing' instead of 'had practicing.'
- The error is in the verb tense as 'had practicing' is not a grammatically correct form.
- In past perfect continuous tense, we use "had been" followed by the base form of the verb + "ing".
- So, "had been practicing" is the correct form in this context.
- The sentence should read as 'The coach said that Shreyas had been practicing on the lawn tennis court.'
- The correct answer is Option 4.
