Question 213
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. have helped you
Q. me about the problem
R. fix it
S. if you had told
T. earlier, I could
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"If" begins the condition: S "if you had told", and "told" needs whom and what: Q.
T says when and ends the condition, then gives the result, "I could", which needs "have" and a past form: P. R finishes it.
So the order is SQTPR: "If you had told me about the problem earlier, I could have helped you fix it."
Worth noting
QSTPR opens with "me about the problem", which has no verb before it.
