Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct option to replace the underlined part is we reach.
Explanation:
Time Clauses: In English grammar, when a sentence refers to a future event using a time clause (starting with words like by the time, when, after, or before), we use the simple present tense instead of the future tense.
Future Perfect Pairing: The main clause ("the concert will have started") uses the future perfect tense to describe an action that will be completed before a certain point. The "point" is established by the time clause in the simple present.
Correct Sentence: "By the time we reach, the concert will have started."
