Question

Which of the phrase given below the sentence should replace the word/phrase given in underline in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, select 'No correction required' as the answer.
They wanted to know that we could extend the required help.

• A. that can we extend
• B. that we had extended
• C. if could we extend
• D. if we could extend
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is D if we could extend

To put a query or a question, we should use 'if' or 'whether'. Also, for affirmative sentences we should not use the helping verb before the subject.
E.g. The teacher asked the students if they could do that work in time.
