English question from High Court exam, 2026 by JKSSB

Correct the underlined phrase:
"When we are came out of the restaurant it was half past eleven."

Last updated Jul 23, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — When we had come out
"When we had come out of the restaurant it was half past eleven."

Why this is correct:
Grammar Error in Original: The phrase "are came" combines a present tense helping verb (are) with a past tense main verb (came), which is grammatically invalid.

Past Perfect Tense (had + V3): When talking about two past events or states, the action that happened first ("coming out of the restaurant") is expressed using the past perfect tense (had come), while the subsequent past state ("it was half past eleven") uses simple past.
