Question

The following sentence contains four parts, marked a,b,c, and d. One of these parts is incorrect. Indicate the letter of the incorrect part.
If it (a) will rain (b) this afternoon, we will have (c) to cancel the picnic. (d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

b

The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible conditional and its probable result. In these sentences the if clause is in the simple present, the main clause is in the simple future.

So in the given sentence, it should be 'if it rains' and not 'if it will rain.' Hence, the error is in part (b) of the sentence.
