Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. will rain.
- "If it will rain tomorrow"- The error here is in the use of "will".
- In conditional sentences, especially for future predictions, the present simple tense is used in the if-clause. It should be "If it rains tomorrow".
-
"I will stay at home."- This part of the sentence is correct and appropriately uses the future simple tense for the main clause.
- The part of the sentence with the error is "will rain"
