Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The correct phrase is 'passed away', not 'pass away'.
- The past participle form of the verb 'pass' is 'passed', which is used with the auxiliary verb 'had' to form the past perfect tense.
- The past perfect tense is used to indicate that an action or event was completed before another action or event in the past.
- The past perfect tense is formed using the following structure: Subject + had + past participle (V3) + (rest of the sentence).
- Therefore, the correct sentence should be 'The doctor came after the patient had passed away.'
Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.
