Directions: Two sentences marked A and B are given below. Mark your answer as:
(A) if only A is correct
(B) if only B is correct
(C) if both A and B are correct
(D) if both A and B are wrong
(A) If it rains, he will not come in time.
(B) If it rained, he will not come in time
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Sentence A is correct because it properly uses first conditional: 'If it rains' (present) + 'he will not come' (future). Sentence B is incorrect because it mixes second conditional 'If it rained' with first conditional result 'he will not come' - it should be 'If it rained, he would not come' (second conditional) or 'If it rains, he will not come' (first conditional).
