Question:
Find the incorrect part in the given sentence:
“If I was in your place, I would accept the offer.”
दिए गए वाक्य में अशुद्ध भाग की पहचान कीजिए:
“If I was in your place, I would accept the offer.”
Options:
- If I
- was in your place
- I would
- accept the offer
- If I
- was in your place
- I would
- accept the offer
Correct Answer: b)
Explanation:
In hypothetical or contrary-to-fact conditional clauses (subjunctive mood), ‘were’ is used with all subjects instead of ‘was’: ‘If I were in your place…’. Hence, part (b) contains the error.
काल्पनिक या असंभव शर्त वाले वाक्यों (Subjunctive mood) में ‘I’ के साथ भी ‘were’ का प्रयोग होता है (‘If I were in your place…’)। अतः भाग (b) अशुद्ध है।
