Identify the grammatical error in the sentence below.
If you had spoken to my mother, she would tell you where I was.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The sentence is a third conditional sentence, which describes an unreal situation in the past and its hypothetical result in the past. The correct structure requires the use of the past perfect tense in the "if" clause and the conditional perfect tense ("would have" + past participle) in the main clause. The correct sentence should be: "If you had spoken to my mother, she would have told you where I was." The phrase "tell you" is in the simple present tense and is the error.
