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.

"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".

Yes I will have helped is the correct answer because it relates to the third use of conditional sentences.

I think this should be removed from part 'B',
If I have known yesterday.
Use of this is senseless.
If I have known yesterday.
Use of this is senseless.

Yesterday is past. So instead of will, we have to use would.
