Question

If they had not _the car, I would have driven you. What is the correct verb

b. takes
c. took
d. taken
​

Answer 1

If they had not taken the car, I would have driven you.

Tense conditions for clauses:

• According to rules, if the first clause is in the past perfect tense, the second clause should be in the 'future perfect tense,' and vice versa.
• If the first clause is in the past tense it must be followed by a past tense.
• If the first clause is in the present tense, it must be followed by a present or future tense and vice versa.

Thus, option b is correct.
