Hi guys.

I have a doubt my student has asked this. In the question paper in error spotting portion.

*if I had money I will give you this was the statement.

But my student had written * if I have money I will give you.

She spotted error in if clause. But in the answer key they had given.

*if I had money I would give you. They spotted error in the main clause.

So could you tell me which is correct and the explanation.

According to me we should not spot the error in the if clause we should change only main clause.

Is it correct?

Please answer me as soon as possible.

If there is any compulsion to do a work then we use like.
have/has to,
is/are to,
was/were to
will have to ...etc.

Ex. (if you don't want to go to school but compulsory you have to go to school every day then use ->)I have to go to school.

Like that The given sentence showing to use. The person has compulsion to do help.So there should use"I will have to helped him." instead of "I will have helped him."

Sentence structure (if-then clause) is only of 4 types:

Present indefinite - future indefinite.
Ex. If you work hard you will get good good marks.

Present indefinite - present indefinite.
If I go to delhi, I do travel by metro.

Past indefinite - would+verb 1st form.
If I had money, I would help you.

Past perfect - would have +verb 3rd form.
If you had worked hard, you would have got good marks.

Dinesh is right. It is past conditional sentence.

Both the actions, "I has known this yesterday" & "I would have helped him" have already completed & past actions. So we have to use "I would have helped him", instead of "will have".

For future actions, we can use "will have".

For eg.

If she invite us for the marriage, we will have nice time there.

Future perfect tense. All are correct.

I will have finished this book.

You will have studied the English tenses.

She will have cooked dinner.

He will have arrived.

We will have met Julie.

It will have stopped raining.

They will have left Japan.

If it is a single sentence, admin should have mentioned it.

This sentence is an unfulfilled condition clause. According to the rule these sentence contain two parts i.e. Main clause & subordinate clause. The Rule of the subordinate clause is: If/when/suppose+subject+had+verb 3 and the Rule of the Main clause is: subject+would/could/should+have+verb 3

The first clause is in the past perfect, so this is a 3rd conditional problem.

Rule is;
If + Past perfect / Past perfect continuous +,
+ Sub + would/could/should/must/might + have + verb in past participle.

No @Gowtham.

You can not use may instead of would.

In the first sentence, "had" indicates past perfect tense and "would" in the second part indicates future perfect tense but both the actions were happened in past. So to make the second part of the sentence we have to use "would" instead "will".

"I had known" indicate that speaker is speaking about past tense and when there is past tense in the sentence we will have to "would" instead of "Will". On similar hand we will have to use "Could " instead of "can".
