Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Whenever she is coming.
Error concept: Incorrect tense usage.
What is wrong: The phrase “Whenever she is coming” is incorrect in standard English for habitual actions.
Grammatical concept:
-
For habitual actions, the simple present tense should be used after “whenever.”
-
Correct form: “Whenever she comes” instead of “is coming.”
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “is coming” implies a single ongoing action, but the sentence describes a repeated/habitual action.
How to correct: Replace “is coming” with “comes.”
Correct phrase/ correction: Whenever she comes
Final sentence: Whenever she comes here, she brings many gifts for everyone.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
