Hello Mr.Clive,

The first sentence was given to a student for correction and the teacher suggested the same as (2).

One more doubt , there is a comma before the word when

1. She was asleep, when her mother came.

Is the comma correct in this sentence?

Hi,

I wouldn't say that the comma is wrong, but I wouldn't put it in the sentence myself.
