    I'll only ______ you if I ________ there is a problem.

    • Calls - thought

    • Called - think

    • Call - think

    • Called - thinking

    Correct Answer
    A. Call - think
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "call - think." This is because the sentence is in the present tense and the conditional "if" clause requires the use of the simple present tense ("call") to indicate a general truth or habit. The main clause also requires the use of the simple present tense ("think") to indicate a possible action or consequence.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    You won't _______ good at sports if you ______ a lot.

    • Like - smoking

    • Be - smoke

    • Are - smoke

    • Being - smoking

    Correct Answer
    A. Be - smoke
    Explanation
    If you smoke a lot, you won't be good at sports. The verb "be" is used to indicate a state or condition, and in this case, it implies that if you engage in smoking, it will negatively affect your ability to excel in sports. The verb "smoke" is the appropriate action verb to complement the subject "you" in this context.

    • Have- had

    • Had- have

    • Have- had

    Correct Answer
    A. Had- have
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had- have". This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The first blank should be filled with "had" to indicate the past tense, and the second blank should be filled with "have" to indicate the present tense. This means that if she had worked harder in the past, she would have passed the test in the present.

    A. Have- if
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have- if." This is because the sentence expresses a hypothetical condition. It suggests that if it had rained, the person would have gotten wet. The word "if" is used to introduce the conditional clause, and "have" is the correct verb form to use in this context.

    Explanation
