  3. give

  4. have given
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

(1), (2) and (4) are incorrect because if a complex sentence has the main clause in the Simple Future Tense, then the subordinate clause has to be in the Simple Present Tense. Besides “you” being the second person, it will not take “s/es” with the first form as it is used in the “plural sense”. Answer: (3)
