Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

Ask her to call me (1)/ when she (2)/ will come back. (3)/ No error. (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

While expressing future actions that depend on another event happening first, we use the present tense in the dependent clause. So, comes back is the correct form here instead of will come back.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ask her to call me when she comes back.
