WAEC - English Language (2010 - No. 64)

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:

If they had known us, they..........

will not treat us like that
would not treat us like that
will not have treated us like that
would not have treated us like that

Explanation

This sentence is a third conditional sentence, which is used to talk about a hypothetical situation in the past—something that didn’t actually happen. Structure of the third conditional: If + past perfect, would have + past participle

So:

  • If they had known us (past perfect),

  • then they would not have treated us like that (would have + past participle).
