Question :
In these questions some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error and indicate it corresponding to the appropriate letters. If there is no error, indicate corresponding to the last option.
I was surprised (A) / when the doctore smiled (B) / as if he saw me before (C) / No Error (D)
Option 1: a
Option 2: b
Option 3: c
Option 4: d
Correct Answer: c
Solution : There is an error in the part "c" hence the correct option is 3.
Explanation:
We need replace ‘he saw me before’ with ‘he had seen me before’.
Before is qualified by ‘Perfect Tense’.
Since the sentence starts in the past tense (past indefinite), "before" will also carry the past perfect tense with it..
In addition, when two past events are involved, the earlier event is considered as the "Past Perfect Tense."
Hence the complete statement is
I was surprised when the doctor smiled as if he had seen me before.
