Step by Step Written Solution
Let's work through this grammar exercise on conditional sentences. We need to match three main clauses with the correct conditional 'if' clauses.
Conditional Sentences (Types 1, 2, and 3)
Conditional sentences follow specific structural rules. Let's look at the three types we need to match.
| Type | Result Clause (Main) | Condition Clause (If) |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | will + base verb | Simple Present |
| Type 2 | would + base verb | Simple Past |
| Type 3 | would have + past participle | Past Perfect |
Now, let's identify our available 'if' clauses from the dropdown menu.
Options:
1. if she loves him (Present)
2. If she loved him (Past)
3. If she had loved him (Past Perfect)
Let's solve the first one: 'Bob will marry Susan'. Since it uses 'will' plus the base verb, it is a Type one conditional.
Matching the Clauses
A Type one conditional requires the 'if' clause to be in the simple present tense. So, 'if she loves him' is the correct match.
