Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.

If you will buy one shirt, you will get another one free.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. you buy.

  • The use of "will" in both clauses is incorrect because conditional sentences typically use the simple present tense in the "if" clause to express a real condition that is likely to happen.
  • The correct structure is: "If you buy" (simple present) in the "if" clause and "you will get" in the main clause.
  • The corrected statement is "If you buy one shirt, you will get another one free."
