Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
If I had a car, I ________ to the theater.
A) Drive
B) Would drive
C) Would drove
D) Drives

Answer 1

Hint: A Type two conditional is referred to as any condition which is hypothetical and is unlikely and to describe the probable results associated with it. Refers to any action it could possibly happen in the future.

Complete answer:
In Type two conditional sentences, the clause related to if is in the simple past tense and the main part of the clause is in present conditional. The phrase corresponding to this format is “would drive”. This phrase also completes the sentence in a meaningful manner.
Considering the other options:
The word drive is in the simple present format, and cannot be used in a type two conditional sentences. Also, it does not form a meaningful sentence.
“Would drove” is a phrase that is grammatically incorrect and cannot be used in any sentence.
Drives also fail to construct a proper meaningful sentence.
Thus by seeing all the options given above, the option which is grammatically correct follows the type two conditional sentence pattern, and forms a meaningful sentence is option B.
The final sentence comes as “If I had a car, I would drive to the theater”.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Note:
Conditional tenses are used to determine what could happen, what has happened, and what we want to happen. The different types of conditional sentences are-
1) Type Zero: This is used to describe the general truths and the clause verb tens is in simple truth form.
2) Type One: Used to describe a possible condition and the probable cause associated with it.
3) Type Two: Used to describe an imaginary condition, and the result associated.
4) Type Three: Describes a condition in the past which was imaginary and the effects associated with the past
5) Mixed Type: Describes a condition in the past, but the probable effect of it in the future.
