Question and options
Directions: Choose the phrase which best completes the conditional statement.
If they had had enough money,
- they will purchase a car in March.
- they purchased a car in March.
- they would have purchased a car in March.
- they should purchase a car in March.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - they would have purchased a car in March.
'If they had had enough money' is the condition of a third conditional (past perfect), so the result takes 'would have' + past participle: 'they would have purchased a car in March'. 'Will purchase', 'purchased' and 'should purchase' do not match a past unreal condition.
