conditional clause (Question:86534.3)

why in this ques we put WERE .. nd wht are the rules

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Fill in the blank with the grammatically correct option.

If  she  ________  my mother  ,I would not have abandon her in old age home.

Options:
A) was
B) have been
C) had been
D) has been
E) were
Solution:
Ans: (c) had been

In such conditional sentences, the tense in the 'if' clause is in the past perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional or the perfect continuous conditional.

Eg: 

  • If you had worked harder, you would have passed your exam.
If clause (condition)Main clause (result)
If this thing had happenedthat thing would have happened.

If Were is used in the given blank, it would make it the "Imaginary verb" (Eg. If I were you....) which is not correct as per the question. Team TR
