Answer 2

Answer:

By the time the doctor arrived at the house the patient had died.

Explanation:

• In cases that has actions both happened in the past, simple past tense is used for the action that happens later.
• We use the past perfect tense for the action that took place first.
• In the above sentence, the first action that takes place is the death of the patient. Therefore, we use past perfect form of the verb die, which is had died.
• The arrival of the doctor takes place later. Therefore, we use the past form of the verb arrive, which is arrived.
• Another example:
• The results had arrived before we reached home.
