SSC CGL - 25 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q11

Select the option that can substitute/replace the bracketed word correctly and complete the sentence.

If he runs, he (get) there in time.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. will get.

In a first conditional sentence, the structure is: If + present simple, will + base verb.

The first part of the sentence (the condition) is in the present simple tense: "If he runs." The second part (the result) must use "will" to indicate a future possibility: "he will get there in time."

So, the full sentence reads: "If he runs, he will get there in time."
