Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
If you will search his pockets you will surely find your watch.

Correct option is B

The segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error is option (b) will search
Explanation:
· In conditional sentences of this type, the condition clause (following "if") should use the simple present tense, not "will." The correct structure should be: "If you search his pockets, you will surely find your watch." Using "will" in the condition clause is not standard English usage for first conditional sentences, which describe real or likely situations.
Corrected Sentence:
· "If you search his pockets, you will surely find your watch."
Grammatical Rule: First Conditional Sentences
· Structure: First conditional sentences are used to talk about real and possible situations. They are typically structured as follows:
· If-Clause (Condition): If + present simple tense
· Main Clause (Result): will + base form of the verb
Example for Clarity:
· Correct Example: "If it rains, we will cancel the picnic."
· Explanation: The condition "it rains" is in the simple present tense, and the result "we will cancel the picnic" uses "will" followed by the base form of the verb.
· Incorrect Example: "If it will rain, we will cancel the picnic."
· Explanation: Using "will" in the if-clause is incorrect for first conditional sentences. The simple present tense should be used instead.
