Question

Select the most appropriate segment to substitute the highlighted words in the given sentence.
After he leave, we discussed his suggestion.

A.

he will be leaving

B.

he has left

C.

he had left

D.

he was leaving

Correct option is C


The correct substitution for "he leave" in the given sentence is "he had left."
· The sentence uses "After" to indicate that one action happened before another in the past. The correct tense to use here is Past Perfect Tense ( had + past participle) because it describes an action that was completed before another past action ("we discussed").
· Correct Sentence: After he had left, we discussed his suggestion.
· Grammatical Rule Used: When two actions occur in the past, the action that happened first should be in the Past Perfect Tense, and the action that followed should be in the Simple Past Tense.
· Explanation of the Rule in Hindi: अगर एक वाक्य में दो क्रियाएँ भूतकाल (Past) में हो रही हैं और उनमें से एक क्रिया पहले पूरी हो चुकी है, तो पहली क्रिया के लिए Past Perfect Tense (had + past participle) का प्रयोग किया जाता है और दूसरी क्रिया Simple Past Tense में होती है।
· Example:
✔ After he had finished his work, he went to bed. ❌ After he finish his work, he went to bed. (Incorrect)
Meanings of Other Given Options:
· (a) he will be leaving: (वह जा रहा होगा) – यह Future Continuous Tense है, जो गलत है क्योंकि क्रिया Past में हो रही है।
· (b) he has left: (वह जा चुका है) – यह Present Perfect Tense है, जो इस संदर्भ में सही नहीं है क्योंकि मुख्य क्रिया ("discussed") Past में है।
· (d) he was leaving: (वह जा रहा था) – यह Past Continuous Tense है, लेकिन "After" के साथ Past Perfect अधिक उपयुक्त है।
