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.

Would is right because it is a futuristic sentence but its meaning is changed because of yesterday, "will" can use for only the next step future.

@Tibin
Don't get confused. The following sentence split into 3 parts.
"If I had known this yesterday I would have helped him."
So, don't try to make a meaning for each part of sentence separately.

"Will" uses in the action of future tense but this sentence starts with "I had known" is uses the action of past perfect tense so we have to use would instead of will.

'this' with yesterday is it okay?
Yesterday itself mention one day before today, what is the use of 'this'?

Yesterday means the day before today. There should not be a "This". I think.
