  1. He was having his food when I went to his home. Or....

  2. He was eating his food when I go to his home.

Do I have to use comma before when?

  1. He was eating his food, when I went to his home.

  1. 'He was eating when I went to his home' is a better version. Though both having his food and eating his food are correct, simply eating implies the latter anyways.
  2. Also, 'when I go to his home' is incorrect. Since the first half of the sentence has a past tense 'He was eating', the second half should also maintain the same by 'when I went to his home'.
  3. A Comma is unnecessary.

  • 'He was eating when I got to his home' would be the correct past-tense version of the sentence in 2.
