The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
If /it will rain,/ we will have / a tough time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. it will rain.
- In the original sentence, "If it will rain," is grammatically incorrect because "if" already indicates a future possibility or condition.
- Therefore, we don't use "will" after "if" in this context.
- The correct structure uses the simple present tense after "if" to indicate a future possibility.
Hence, the correct sentence will be: "If it rains, we will have a tough time."
