Question 4 • CCPS GSE Language Arts Grade 8 (23.01300) YL IC

Which sentence is conditional but not subjunctive?

Answer
A
If you had studied harder, you might have done well.
B
If you study every day, then you will pass the test.
C
If you hadn't studied, you would have done even worse.
D
I predict that you will study more in the future.

Explanation

A conditional sentence states a condition and its result. Choice B uses “if” to give the condition, “you study every day,” and “will pass the test” as the result. It describes a realistic possibility rather than using the unreal or contrary-to-fact phrasing found in the subjunctive examples A and C. Choice D is a prediction, not a conditional sentence.
