| (A) Shobha Bua brings us a box of pedas whenever she comes to visit from Mathura. | (II) whenever | Whenever means “every time that”. Bua does this on every single visit. |
| (B) The guests had already finished their dinner before the groom’s family reached the hall. | (IV) before | Before means “earlier than”. It shows the order of two actions. The guests ate first. The groom’s family came later. |
| (C) Keep the dog on a short leash, or else he will chase the neighbour’s cat again. | (III) or else | Or else gives a warning. It means “if not, then this will happen”. If the leash is loose, the dog will chase the cat. |
