Hi fellow teachers, After so many years struggling to teach the rules of Grammar, I must now seek assistance from experts like you. Please look at this multiple choice question:
I have a test in the next class. Luckily, I have studied. If I ��� I ��� nervous.
a::) study - wouldn�t be
b::) am studying - haven�t felt
c::) studied - will not feel
d::) have studied - don�t get
My Answer Key says d) is correct. The other options are really bizarre, all right. But d) doesn �t sound good to me. Perhaps if it said "Because I have studied...? All help welcome! Many thanks

D is right. The speaker means. "In a situation like this, before a test, USUALLY. I don �t get nervous if I have studied." |

Yes, D is right. I might have used "When" instead of "If" to make it sound a little more natural. It would also be better to say "If I study I don �t get nervous", I think, but the sentence is a shortening of "If I have studied for a test, I don �t get nervous during the test". Bruce |
