Read each sentence given below and find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any will be one of the parts of the sentence which are marked as a,b and c If there is no error, the answer will be (d) i.e. No error. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).
(a) I will buy / (b) the book when / (c) the revise edition will come / (d) no error.
Explanation:
- (a) I will buy: This part of the sentence correctly uses the future tense to indicate an action that the speaker intends to perform.
- (b) the book when: This part is also correct, introducing the condition or time reference for the future action.
- (c) the revise edition will come: Here is the error. The correct phrase should be "the revised edition comes." In conditional sentences referring to the future, the present simple tense ("comes") is used after "when," not the future tense ("will come").
- (d) no error: Option (d) indicates no error, which is incorrect in this case.
The error is in option 3, (c).
