1Give my love to Mira in case you ............... her.
Wrong!
After "in case", use the present simple "see" to talk about a possible future situation.
2The first time I ............... him was last week.
Wrong!
The finished past time expression "last week" needs the past simple "met".
3This is the house ............... I was born in.
Wrong!
Use "that" because the preposition "in" already appears at the end of the relative clause.
4I ............... a strange experience yesterday.
Wrong!
The finished past time expression "yesterday" needs the past simple "had".
5They ............... married last month.
Wrong!
The finished past time expression "last month" needs the past simple "got".

Use the subject relative pronoun "who" for the person who did the action.

After "think", "that" can introduce the object clause.

"Despite" and "In spite of" are both followed by a noun phrase such as "the rain".
