Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: When Mayank came
Key Points
- The error in the original sentence is in the verb tense agreement.
- The issue is that the past tense "came" in this segment conflicts with the use of the future tense "shall go" in the following segment.
- In this case, "comes" is appropriate.
- This suggests that whenever "Mayank comes" as a regular occurrence or in the future.
- In conditional statements, especially those expressing future conditions, use "comes" in the if-clause to indicate a possible future event.
- So, the correct sentence would be: When Mayank comes, I shall go with him to the circus.
Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.
