Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Raghav reached the stadium late / and found that the second innings / had already began.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → had already began
After “had”, a verb takes its past participle (V3). The V3 of “begin” is “begun”. “Began” is the simple past, which is never used after “had”. So the right form is had already begun.
Option 1: Raghav reached the stadium late — No error.
Option 2: and found that the second innings — No error.
Option 3: had already began — Error. “had already began” should be “had already begun”.
Corrected: Raghav reached the stadium late and found that the second innings had already begun.
