Answer

· Based on the official syllabus and past papers
Updated

a) If I were you, I would not tell a lie.

b) She was writing a letter when I saw her.

Explanation:

a) The sentence uses a hypothetical condition, so the correct form of the verb is the past subjunctive "were" (not "was") after "If I." The main clause uses the conditional form "would not tell."

b) The sentence describes an action in progress at a specific past time ("when I saw her"). Therefore, the past continuous tense "was writing" is used. The past simple "saw" indicates the completed action that interrupted the ongoing action.
