SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 24

SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q24

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The teacher will / certainly help you / if you will / ask her.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. if you will.

The error is in "if you will" because in a Type 1 conditional sentence, the if clause should be in the simple present tense, not the future tense.

The correct structure is "if + present simple, will + base verb", so "if you ask her" is correct instead of "if you will ask her."
