Question

Mara returned back from the jungle, one evening. Correct the sentence ​

Answer 1

The correct form of the following sentence is- ''One evening, Mara returned from the jungle.''

• The previous sentence was wrong as 'returned back' was used there. But, return itself means 'come back'. So, 'back' becomes invisible in the new sentence.
• The preposition 'from' is used here to indicate the place from where Mara returned.

Answer 2

By correcting the given sentence we get,

Mara returned from the jungle, one evening.

Explanation:

• "back" was the error in the given sentence.

• "back" is not needed with the word "returned as both words have the same meaning.

• "back" means to return to an old spot or return home.

• Same as back, "return" means to come back to the initial spot.
