Question

Read the following sentence to find out whether there is an error in any part. No sentence has more than one error. If you feel there is no error in a sentence, choose ‘No error’.
Unless you apologized I shall punish you.

A.

Unless

B.

you apologized

C.

I shall punish you

D.

No error

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation: “Unless” introduces a condition in the present or future, so the correct verb form is “apologize” (present simple), not “apologized” (past).
Grammatical rule used:
�� In conditional sentences with “unless,” use present tense to refer to future possibilities.
Example: Unless you work hard, you will fail.
�� Information Booster: "Unless" = “if not.” Don’t use past tense if the condition refers to future.
