Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

come to my

Solution :

The correct phrase to replace the bold part is come to my.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Analyze the Sentence Structure:
The given sentence consists of two clauses:
- Subordinate/Conditional Clause (Time Clause): "When you will come to my house"
- Main Clause: "I will cook your favorite pasta for you."


2. Grammar Rule - Time Clauses and Conditional Sentences:
When a sentence refers to a future action using a time conjunction like when, as soon as, until, before, or after, the verb in the time clause should be in the Simple Present Tense, even though the main clause uses the Simple Future Tense ("will cook").


3. Identifying the Error:
In the original phrase "will come to my", using the future modal verb "will" in the time clause introduced by "when" is grammatically incorrect.


4. Correcting the Sentence:
Replacing "will come" with the simple present verb "come" makes the clause grammatically sound:
"When you come to my house, I will cook your favorite pasta for you."


Therefore, the correct option is come to my.
