Answer 2

Answer:

The given incomplete sentence is in mood of Impossible Conditional Sentence, therefore its complete sentence is mentioned below.

I would have forgiven him, if he had apologized.

I would have forgiven him, if he had apologized.

Explanation :

• Conditional Sentence means there is a condition between two actions, if one happens then other will happen : If it rains, you will get wet.

• In Impossible Conditional Sentence, if clause turns into past perfect tense and main clause turns into would + have + past participle form, it is mentioned above. A comma ( , ) is used between if clause and main clause.

• Here main clause is 'would have forgiven' and if clause is 'he had apologized'. Impossible Conditional Sentence means, action of if clause doesn't happen in reality, it indicates past imaginary by past perfect tense.

• 'If he had apologized' means he didi not apologize to me, so I will not forgive him, or I will never forgive him because he will never ask me to apologize.

• Example : If he had fallen down from the tree, he would have broken his legs.
