Correct option is C
Option (c) contains the error.
Explanation: “have walked” is present perfect tense, which is incorrect here. The main sentence is in
past continuous (“was playing”), so the action in the second clause should also be in
simple past – “I
walked”.
Correct sentence: He was playing cricket when I
walked past the stadium early this morning.
Grammatical Rule Used:
✔ When two actions happen in the past, the longer action uses past continuous and the shorter one uses
simple past.
