Use of the wrong Grammar


Using till instead of before or when.
Don’t say: I’d reached the school till the rain started.
ü  Say: I’d reached the school before the rain started.
ü  Or: I’d reached the school when the rain started
Before or when introduces a clause of time, if the verb of the main clause denotes an action completed before that of the time clause.
