Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No Error'.
When I have arrived at the theatre, the show had already started.
Option 1: had already started
Option 2: When I have arrived at
Option 3: the theatre, the show
Option 4: No Error
Correct Answer: When I have arrived at
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
The part that contains the error is "when I have arrived at". The error lies in the incorrect use of tenses. The sentence uses both the present perfect ("have arrived") and past perfect ("had already started") tenses, causing a tense mismatch.
So, "have arrived" would be changed to "arrived" as per the simple past tense that is used in the sentence with the past perfect tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " When I arrived at the theatre, the show had already started."
