In this Section a number of sentences are given. The sentences are underlined in three separate parts and each one is labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part. No sentence has more than one error. When you find an error in any one of the underlined parts (a), (b) or (c), indicate your response on the separate Answer Sheet at the appropriate space. You may feel that there is no error in a sentence. In that case letter (d) will signify a 'No error' response.
(a) If you had / (b) just hinted at your difficulty. / (c) I would most certainly help you.
- AIf you had
- Bjust hinted at your difficulty.
- CI would most certainly help you.
- DNo error.
Explanation
Part (c): the third conditional needs 'would have helped' — 'If you had hinted ... I would most certainly have helped you.'
