The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
If I have recovered from fever, / I will start going / for swimming classes / from tomorrow.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. If I have recovered from fever.
- The segment "If I have recovered from fever," contains a grammatical error because it uses the present perfect tense ("have recovered") in a conditional sentence where the simple present tense ("recover") is more appropriate.
- In conditional sentences referring to future actions, the simple present is typically used in the if clause, while the future tense is used in the main clause.
- The corrected version should be "If I recover from the fever," to align with the standard conditional structure.
