Key Points
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- Here, 'when he was' should be used instead of 'during he was'.
- Use “when + sentence”. So, we need a subject and a verb.
- We can use this at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence.
- Example: She is quiet when she is angry.
- Whereas, we use “during + noun”.
- We can use this at the beginning or end of a sentence.
- Example: She cried during the movie.
- Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
Correct Sentence: We stayed in Jim's flat when he was on holiday.
