Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
I have reached (1) / the office before (2) / the rain started. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
When both events happened in the past, the event that happened earlier should be expressed in the past perfect tense. Hence, "I had reached" is the right usage. This is because the action of reaching the office happened before the rain started.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: I had reached the office before the rain started.
