DI have left home before he came

Answer:

A. I had left home before he came

Read Explanation:

  • The correct sentence is: "I had left home before he came.(അവൻ വരുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് ഞാൻ വീട്ടിൽ നിന്ന് പോയിരുന്നു)."

Explanation:

  • Past Perfect Tense:
    • In this sentence, the use of "had left" indicates the past perfect tense. ഭൂതകാലത്തിലെ മറ്റൊരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തിന് മുമ്പ് പൂർത്തിയാക്കിയ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനം പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാൻ ഈ tense ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു.
  • Sequence of Events/സംഭവങ്ങളുടെ ക്രമം:
    • "I had left home" എന്നത് മറ്റൊരു മുൻകാല സംഭവത്തിന് മുമ്പാണ് വീട് വിടുന്നത് സംഭവിച്ചതെന്ന് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു, which is "he came."
  • Correct Time Reference:
    • The use of "before" എന്ന പ്രയോഗം ഉചിതമാണ്, ഇത് രണ്ട് പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളുടെയും കാലക്രമത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
  • "I left home before he came": This is also correct but doesn't express the chronological order as clearly as the past perfect tense.
  • "I have left home at 7 in the morning": The use of "have left" is present perfect, but it doesn't match the past time reference "at 7 in the morning."
  • "I have left home before he came": This mixes present perfect and past simple tenses, creating an inconsistency in the time frame of the actions.
