    If he has come here, (A)/ I would have given (B)/him the amount he (C)/needed to pay his fees. (D)
    Question

    Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

    If he has come here, (A)/ I would have given (B)/him the amount he (C)/needed to pay his fees. (D)

    A.

    A

    B.

    B

    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is: (a) A
    Explanation:
    · The sentence contains a conditional clause, but the tenses are inconsistent. The correct structure for this type of hypothetical conditional is:
    If + past perfect tense (to indicate an unreal past condition)
    would have + past participle (to indicate the unreal result).
    · "If he has come here" is incorrect because "has come" (present perfect) does not match the hypothetical context of "would have given."
    · It should be "If he had come here."
    Corrected Sentence:
    If he had come here, I would have given him the amount he needed to pay his fees.
