The sentence 'If I had more time, I would read more novels' is a second conditional. Which sentence follows the same pattern?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. If we had a bigger garden, we would plant more olive trees.
- Step 1: The model is the second conditional: 'if' + past simple, 'would' + base verb. Step 2. It describes an unreal or unlikely present situation. Answer: If we had a bigger garden, we would plant more olive trees. Why not the others: the others mix present, 'will' or 'would have' into the wrong clause.
