Question
Read each sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). If they would have left earlier, (A)/ they could have reached (B)/ the airport well before (C)/ the check-in closed. (D)/ No error (E)Solution
This sentence is an example of a third conditional (used to express an unreal past situation and its probable result).
In a third conditional sentence, the correct structure is:
If + past perfect, would have + past participle
Therefore, instead of "would have left", it should be "had left".
Corrected sentence: If they had left earlier, they could have reached the airport well before the check-in closed.
