Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. the movie already started
Explanationव्याख्या
When one past action happened before another past action, the earlier action is commonly expressed in the Past Perfect.
Correct sentence: By the time we reached the cinema, the movie had already started.
जब दो past actions में एक action पहले पूरा हो चुका हो, तो पहले वाले action के लिए Past Perfect का प्रयोग किया जाता है। इसलिए “already started” के स्थान पर “had already started” होगा।
