The given sentence is divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
If we / were meeting at 6 p.m., / we will / have plenty of time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. we will.
This sentence mixes a past unreal conditional (“If we were meeting at 6 p.m.”) with a future-simple main clause (“we will have plenty of time”). This combination is grammatically incorrect. In English, an unreal (hypothetical) 'if' clause with were (the subjunctive) requires the main clause to use “would” instead of “will.”
A correct version would be:
“If we were meeting at 6 p.m., we would have plenty of time.”
