Select the one which conveys the meaning of the sentence correctly
Answer: D
Correct answer: Our school would have won the match if only we had concentrated.
This is a third conditional - a past possibility that did not happen. Its fixed shape is if + past perfect in the condition and would have + past participle in the result.
Why the others fail:
- Our school had won the match if only we have concentrated - both halves are in the wrong tense.
- if we would have concentrated - would never appears in the if clause of a conditional.
- Our school would win the match only if we had concentrated - mixing a present result with a past condition, so the sentence no longer refers to the match that was lost.
