Do you know that conditional sentences are sentences that express something dependent on something else? This would be like, “If it snows, the school will be canceled. ” The influence of the major clause of the sentence is conditional on the dependent clause. A full conditional sentence contains two clauses, including the antecedent and the consequent, and different languages have distinct rules concerning conditional sentences. This quiz is unconditionally grammatically minded.

If he _______ his own vegetables, he wouldn't have bought them.
- A.
  
  Grew
- B.
  
  Had grown
- C.
  
  Grows
- D.
  
  Would grow
Correct Answer
B. Had grown

Explanation

Would you go out more often if you didn't have to do so much in the house?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The correct answer is True. This implies that the person would go out more often if they didn't have to do so much work in the house. The question suggests that the person feels burdened by their household responsibilities and believes that these responsibilities are preventing them from going out more often. Therefore, if they had less to do in the house, they would have more free time and would be more likely to go out.

He wouldn't have been sleepy that day if he _______ late the previous night.
- A.
  
  Stayed up
- B.
  
  Had stayed up
- C.
  
  Didn't stay up
- D.
  
  Hadn't stayed up
Correct Answer
D. Hadn't stayed up

Explanation
The correct answer is "hadn't stayed up". This is because the sentence is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action that happened before another past action. In this case, the action of staying up late (not staying up) happened before the action of being sleepy. Therefore, the correct form is "hadn't stayed up".

- A.
  
  True

Explanation

However, the correct answer is false because the statement does not provide any guarantee or assurance that the person will actually come with you. It only states a conditional situation, but does not confirm the action.

- B.
  
  Would fall
- C.
  
  Will fall
- D.
  
  Would have fallen

The correct form to express this hypothetical outcome is "would have fallen".

I _____ there if I were you.
- A.
  
  Would go there
- B.
  
  Will go there
- C.
  
  Gone there
- D.
  
  Would have gone
Correct Answer
A. Would go there

Explanation
The phrase "I would go there if I were you" is a conditional statement expressing a hypothetical situation. The use of "would" in this context indicates a hypothetical or unreal condition. It suggests that the speaker is advising someone to go to a certain place, but it is not a definite plan or decision. The use of "were" instead of "was" in the second part of the sentence is the correct subjunctive form used to express a hypothetical situation.

The dog would have found the cat if it will hide in the tree.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "The dog would have found the cat if it had hidden in the tree." The use of "will" in the conditional clause is incorrect as it should be "had" to indicate past tense. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

- B.
  
  Would use
- C.
  
  Used
- D.
  
  Had used
Correct Answer
D. Had used

Explanation
The correct answer is "had used". This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating that the students did not actually solve the problem. The phrase "had used" is the correct past perfect form of the verb "use" in this context.
