Question

Choose the option that best completes the sentence: 
"If I _________ enough money, I would buy a new car.''

• A. have
• B. had
• C. will have
• D. would have

Hint:

Use ``if + past tense'' for unreal present conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To complete the sentence, we need to identify the correct tense structure. The sentence begins with "If I _______ enough money, I would buy a new car." This structure fits a conditional sentence often used to express hypothetical situations that are contrary to fact. In English, this is known as the second conditional, which is used to talk about unreal or unlikely situations in the present or future.

The correct form for the second conditional is:
If + past simple, + would + base form of the verb

In this scenario, the past simple form of "have" is "had." Thus, the correct completion of the sentence is "If I had enough money, I would buy a new car."

Therefore, the correct option is: had.
