WAEC - English Language (1999 - No. 42)
From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
.................here, the case would have been settled long ago.
.................here, the case would have been settled long ago.
had my mother been
where my mother to be
if my mother were to be
my mother having been
Explanation
The sentence is an example of a third conditional (unreal past condition). The correct structure for this type of sentence is:
"Had + subject + past participle, (then) result (would have + past participle)."
So, "Had my mother been here, the case would have been settled long ago." is the correct choice.
