Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required.
She gave everyone a present before she leaves.
Option 1: she left
Option 2: she is leaving
Option 3: No improvement required
Option 4: she has to leave.
Correct Answer:
she left
Solution : The correct answer is option 1.
Explanation:
- In this context, the statement "she leaves" is wrong.
- We usually use "before" with the past simple tense.
- It implies that the second incident occurred soon after the first.
- The "before clause," which denotes the second action, can be at the conclusion or start of the sentence.
- As a result, the phrase "she leaves" should be changed with "she left" to be grammatically correct.
Correct sentence: She gave everyone a present before she left.
