Spot the error: "He returned back from Delhi yesterday."
- 'He returned' is wrong
- The sentence is correct
- 'from Delhi' should be 'of Delhi'
- 'returned back' is redundant — use just 'returned' or 'came back'
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. 'returned back' is redundant — use just 'returned' or 'came back'
*Return* already means 'come back'.
Adding 'back' is redundant (*returned back* = 'came back back').
**Correct:** *He returned from Delhi yesterday* or *He came back from Delhi yesterday*.
