Hi.

I would like to know which of the following sentences is correct.

1) Vani has revealed the answer even before Neha attempted the question. :cross:
2) Vani has revealed the answer even before Neha had attempted the question. :cross:
3) Vani had revealed the answer even before Neha attempted the question. :tick:

[STRIKE]Thanks in advance.[/STRIKE] Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by clicking on the "Thank" button.

As you can see above, of those three, only #3 is correct. However, you failed to suggest the most likely option:

Vani revealed the answer before Neha had even attempted the question.

Note that I have moved "even" to a more natural position.

Hi,

Thanks for correcting the sentence. I have another doubt. Doesn't 'Would like to..' imply 'I would like to.. '?

Maybe it does to some, but omitting the subject of a sentence is far too casual a practice for a forum like this which insists on the use of standard English.
