Michael never buys a round of drinks.
- A.
If he can avoid it.
- B.
If he will avoid it
- C.
If he could avoid it
- D.
If he would avoid it
Correct Answer
A. If he can avoid it.Explanation
The correct answer is "if he can avoid it" because the sentence is talking about Michael's habit of not buying a round of drinks. The use of "can" suggests that Michael has the ability or opportunity to avoid buying drinks, indicating that it is a choice or preference for him. The other options ("if he will avoid it," "if he could avoid it," "if he would avoid it") do not accurately convey the meaning of the sentence.Rate this question:

If you smoked a lot
- B.
If you will smoke a lot
- C.
If you smoke a lot
- D.

Correct Answer
C. If you smoke a lotExplanation
Smoking has negative effects on physical health, such as reduced lung capacity, decreased endurance, and increased risk of respiratory diseases. These factors can significantly impair athletic performance, making it difficult to excel in sports. Therefore, if someone smokes a lot, it is unlikely that they will be good at sports.Rate this question:

Butter melts
- A.
If you will leave it out in the sun
- B.
If you left it out in the sun
- C.
If you would leave it out in the sun
- D.
If you leave it out in the sun
Correct Answer
D. If you leave it out in the sunExplanation
Butter melts if you leave it out in the sun because heat from the sun causes the butter to reach its melting point. When the temperature of the butter exceeds its melting point, the solid fat molecules in the butter begin to break down and transition into a liquid state. This is why leaving butter out in the sun will result in it melting.Rate this question:

I never get here on time.
- A.
If I had taken the train
- B.
If I take the train
- C.
If I will take the train
- D.
If I took the train
Correct Answer
B. If I take the trainExplanation
The correct answer is "if I take the train." This answer is correct because the sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation in the present. The use of "if" followed by the present simple tense "take" indicates a possible action that could lead to a different outcome. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong verb tense or include "will," which is not necessary in this context.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. If you say he is fatExplanation
The correct answer is "if you say he is fat" because it is in the present tense and matches the tense used in the sentence "Sammy gets angry." The other options are either in the past tense or use incorrect verb forms, making them grammatically incorrect in this context.Rate this question:

If you don't go to bed soon.
- A.
You'll be tired tomorrow
- B.
You would be tired tomorrow
- C.
You were tired tomorrow

You had been tired tomorrow
Correct Answer
A. You'll be tired tomorrowExplanation
The correct answer is "You'll be tired tomorrow" because it is a conditional sentence expressing a future consequence. The use of "you'll" indicates a future action, and "be tired" indicates the consequence of not going to bed soon. The other options ("would be," "were," and "had been") do not accurately convey the future consequence in the same way.Rate this question:

The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, where the speaker is saying they would see the person at the cinema if the person had the time. The correct form for this type of hypothetical condition is the past simple tense in the if-clause (if you had) and the would + base form of the verb in the main clause (would see).Rate this question:

A. If I didn't think he was the best person for the jobExplanation
The correct answer is "if I didn't think he was the best person for the job." This answer correctly uses the past tense "didn't think" to express the speaker's uncertainty about employing the person. The phrase "he was the best person for the job" indicates that the speaker believes the person is highly qualified and suitable for the position.Rate this question:

D. I would like it very muchExplanation
The correct answer is "I would like it very much." This is because the sentence is expressing a hypothetical or conditional situation. The use of "would" indicates a preference or desire in a hypothetical scenario. The other options do not convey the same meaning or grammatical structure.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. If you had planned your day betterExplanation
The correct answer is "if you had planned your day better." This answer is in the past perfect conditional tense, indicating that the speaker is referring to a hypothetical situation in the past. It suggests that if the person had planned their day better in the past, the speaker wouldn't have gotten so angry with them.Rate this question:

You would speak better English.
- A.
If you got more work done
- B.
If you had got more work done
- C.
If you get more work done
- D.
If you will get more work done
Correct Answer
A. If you got more work doneExplanation
This answer is correct because it uses the correct verb form "got" in the conditional sentence. The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, so the past simple form "got" is used instead of "had got" or "get" in order to convey the correct meaning. Additionally, the use of "if" indicates a conditional statement, and the phrase "more work done" suggests that the speaker is referring to completing tasks or assignments.Rate this question:

- B.
If you had read more in English
- C.
If you would read more in English
- D.
If you'll read more in English
Correct Answer
B. If you had read more in EnglishExplanation
The correct answer is "if you had read more in English." This is because the sentence is in the conditional type 3, which is used to talk about unreal situations in the past. The phrase "if you had read more in English" implies that the person did not read enough in English in the past, and as a result, they did not learn as much as they could have.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.
If I'd see you
- C.
If I'd seen you
- D.
If I see you
Correct Answer
C. If I'd seen youExplanation
The correct answer is "if I'd seen you." This is because the sentence is in the past conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical situation. The structure "if + subject + had + past participle" is used to express a past unreal condition. In this case, it implies that the speaker did not see the person in the past and as a result, they were unable to share the news earlier.Rate this question:

If you told me there was a problem
- B.
If you'd told me there was a problem

If you'd tell me there was a problem
- D.
If you'll tell me there was a problem
Correct Answer
B. If you'd told me there was a problemExplanation
The correct answer is "if you'd told me there was a problem." This is the correct answer because it uses the correct conditional form of the verb "tell" in the past tense ("told") and the correct form of the auxiliary verb "had" ("you'd"). The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation in the past, where the speaker is saying that they would have helped if they had been informed about the problem.Rate this question:

D. If I'd been able to afford itExplanation
The correct answer is "if I'd been able to afford it." This is because the sentence is in the past conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The phrase "if I'd been able to afford it" correctly expresses the condition of not being able to afford the bigger model in the past.Rate this question:

- D.
If I won't see it with my own eyes
Correct Answer
A. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyesExplanation
The correct answer is "if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." This answer is correct because it is in the past perfect tense, which is used to express an unreal or hypothetical condition in the past. The speaker is saying that they would not have believed something was possible if they had not personally witnessed it.Rate this question:

- A.
If I'd stayed at home
- B.
If I'd stay at home
- C.
If I stayed at home
- D.
If I didn't stay at home
Correct Answer
A. If I'd stayed at homeExplanation
The correct answer is "if I'd stayed at home" because it is a correct conditional construction in the past tense. The sentence suggests that the speaker did meet up with John, implying that they did not stay at home. The use of "if I'd" is a contraction of "if I had," indicating a hypothetical situation in the past.Rate this question:
