    • Would buy

    • Bought

    • Buy

    Correct Answer
    A. Would buy
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would buy" because the sentence is in the conditional form, indicating that the speaker is expressing a hypothetical situation or a desire. "Would" is the correct verb form to use in this context to indicate a hypothetical action in the future.

    • Would have

    • Would has

    • Will have

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Would have
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Would have" because it is the correct past conditional form of the verb "to believe" in this sentence. It indicates that if they had told us the whole story in the past, we would have believed them.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    I would travel abroad if I _________________.

    • Can

    • Will be able

    • Could

    • May

    Correct Answer
    A. Could
    Explanation
    The word "could" in the sentence suggests a hypothetical or conditional situation. It implies that the speaker is considering the possibility of traveling abroad, but it is not certain or guaranteed. Using "could" indicates that the speaker is open to the idea and willing to explore the option of traveling abroad if certain conditions are met.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I would get a new car if I ________________.

    • Got the money

    • Had the money

    • Has the money

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Had the money
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Had the money." This answer is correct because the sentence is in the conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation. The phrase "if I had the money" suggests that the person does not currently have the money but would consider getting a new car if they did. The other options, "got the money" and "has the money," are grammatically incorrect verb forms in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 6.

    • Would bought

    • Bought

    • Will buy

    • Would buy

    Correct Answer
    A. Would buy
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would buy". In conditional sentences, we use "would" to express a hypothetical or unreal situation. In this case, the speaker is imagining having enough money in the future and what they would do in that situation. Therefore, "would buy" is the appropriate choice to express this hypothetical action of purchasing a plane ticket to Europe.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    I would get that promotion if I _____________ you.

    • Were

    • Was

    • Would be

    • Am

    Correct Answer
    A. Were
    Explanation
    This question is testing the use of subjunctive mood in conditional sentences. In this case, the speaker is expressing a hypothetical situation, indicating that they do not actually believe they will get the promotion. The correct form to use in this context is "were," which is the subjunctive form of "to be" for the pronoun "I."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If I _____ his name, I would have invited him to the party.

    • Understood

    • Know

    • Had known

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Had known
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had known" because it is a past unreal conditional form. The sentence suggests that the speaker did not know the person's name in the past, and as a result, they were unable to invite them to the party. The use of "had known" indicates that if the speaker had known the person's name in the past, they would have invited them to the party.

    • I don’t see

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. I don’t see
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I don't see." This answer suggests that if the speaker does not see the person in question this afternoon, they will phone him in the evening. The phrase "I don't see" implies that the speaker is not expecting to have a visual encounter with the person, indicating that they will make a phone call instead.

    • Is

    • Was

    • Were

    • Would be

    Correct Answer
    A. Were
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were" because it is the correct form of the verb "to be" in the subjunctive mood. The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, indicating that David is not actually rich. In this case, "were" is used instead of "was" to show the unreal condition.
