    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 hostess smiled (B) / as

    if she saw me before (C) / No Error (D) 
    A I was surprised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B when the hostess smiled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C as if she saw me before Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Replace ‘she saw me before’ with ‘she had seen me before’. Before is qualified by ‘Perfect Tense’. Here the sentence begins in Past Indefinite Tense, hence ‘before’ will take ‘Past Perfect Tense’ with it. Moreover, in case of two activities of the past, the one occurred earlier takes ‘Past Perfect Tense’. Hence option C has the error.
