ESL/EFL Test #92 "Tenses (3)", question 2
She said she'd help him if she ..........
(a) could
(b) can
(c) can't
(d) have been able
Correct answer: (a) could
Why not can? |
This is conditional, and could is correct answer. She said that she'd (she would) help him if she "could". Unfortunately, she can not help him.
I would fly if I could, unfortunately I can not fly... |
