Question : Parts of the given sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any errors, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
When I reached there she have already started eating.
Option 1: No error
Option 2: When I reached
Option 3: there she have
Option 4: already started eating
Correct Answer: there she have
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation:
When narrating events in the past, the past perfect tense is used to indicate an action that occurred before another past action. In this case,
had
should replace
have
to indicate that she had already started eating before the speaker reached there.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: When I reached there, she had already started eating.
