In the following questions, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No Error' option. Bob has changed a lot (P)/when he got (Q)/ married to Alice (R)/ No error(S). Correct Answer Q
The error lies in Q part of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 2.
In the given sentence, the action of changing is mentioned which takes time to happen. Bob cannot change immediately when he gets married to Alice. He changes gradually as a result of getting married so the correct way of explaining the change in Bob caused by his marriage is to use the word 'since' in place of 'when'. Since means 'from a definite past time till now' so ' Bob has changed a lot since he got married to Alice' means from the time of his marriage to the present.
Correct Sentence- Bob has changed a lot since he got married to Alice.
Tip- The word 'when' denotes a particular point of time or a moment at which an action takes place while 'since' means from a definite past time till now.
