Question

it was raining heavily, when she reached home

Answer 1

Answer:

It was raining heavily at that time, when she reached home.

Explanation:

•Question : It was raining heavily, when she reached home.

It is a complex sentence where the principle clause is ''It was raining heavily'' and the sub-ordinate clause is "she reached home"

Here 'when' is the connective to connect both the clauses .

Principle clause can express its meaning independently but sub ordinate clause needs the help of principle clause to express its meaning.

◆To split this complex sentence we have to transform that sub ordinate clause into a independent clause

Thus at that time has been in the answer to explain the situation.

Thus the sentence is split to two sentences :

She reached home

It was raining heavily at that time
