- The sentence that contains a grammatical error is 'All right. I had been waiting'.
- The word 'had been' is used to mean that something happened in the past and has already ended.
- Example: I had been working at the company for five years when I got the promotion.
- Whereas the word 'will be' is used to refer to actions that will be happening in the future.
- Example: The Spider-Man movie will be releasing soon.
