Question

A)COME
B)CAME
C)COMES
D)WILL COME

Answer 1

Here is the correct answer along with explanation:

If he comes, I won't stay.

Explanation

This is an if-clause structure. We use if-clause structure to say that something might or will happen depending on another thing happening for example: If I study hard, I will secure high grades in the exams. We don't use 'will' in if clause.

Note: In 'if clause' we use Simple Present Tense form of the verb.

Answer 2

If he comes, I won't stay.

Explanation:

If he comes, I won't stay.

The verb come should match the pronoun he. Since the pronoun is singular, the verb will take a plural form. So he will be matched with comes and not the rest of the options given.

If the pronoun was plural, then the verb will be singular. For example: If they come, we won't stay. They is plural, so singular verb come will be used.
