Question

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation if any.

He got (1)/ away just (2)/ before the (3)/ enemy will come. (4)

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4
• E. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4

The phrase ‘will come’ is incorrect.

The simple future tense cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as ‘when’, ‘while’, ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘unless’, etc. Simple present tense should be used rather than simple future tense.

Therefore, ‘will come’ must be replaced with ‘comes’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
