SSC GD Constable (English) - 30 Jan 2023 - Shift 4 • English • Q9

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

He will give you / good advice if / you will ask him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. you will ask him.

  • The use of "will" after "if" is unnecessary in this context.
  • When "if" is used to introduce a condition in a conditional sentence (in this case, a first conditional), the main clause should be in the simple present tense.
  • So, the corrected sentence would be: "He will give you good advice if you ask him."
