Rewrite the following sentences using the verbs in the brackets in their correct forms: a) If I ______ (be) you, I would not tell a lie. b) She ______ (write) a letter when I saw her. c) By the time we reach the station, the train ______ (leave).

Answer

a) If I were you, I would not tell a lie. (Here, the verb "were" is used instead of "was" because it is a hypothetical situation in the second conditional form.)

b) She was writing a letter when I saw her. (The past continuous tense "was writing" is used to describe an ongoing action in the past.)

c) By the time we reach the station, the train will have left. (The future perfect tense "will have left" is used to indicate an action that will be completed before another future action.)
