It takes me an hour to get to work at the moment, but when the new road is finished it be much quicker.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. it be much quicker.
- The clause 'when the new road is finished' refers to a future event.
- When talking about the future, we use 'will' + base verb in the main clause (unless using another specific future tense).
- 'It be' is ungrammatical because 'be' alone cannot function as a future verb without an auxiliary verb like 'will.'
The correct sentence is:- 'It takes me an hour to get to work at the moment, but when the new road is finished, it will be much quicker.'
