Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

  • A.If you had told me that you were in Bombay I had certainly contacted by you instead of getting bored there.
  • B.If you had told me that you were in Bombay I would have certainly contacted you despite getting bored there.
  • C.If you had told me that you were in Bombay I would have certainly contacted you instead of getting bored there.
  • D.If you would have told me that you were in Bombay I had certainly contacted you instead of getting bored there.

Answer: C

Correct answer: If you had told me that you were in Bombay I would have certainly contacted you instead of getting bored there.

A third conditional: past perfect in the if clause, would have + past participle in the result. Instead of then names what actually happened.

Why the others fail:

  • I had certainly contacted by you - a past perfect where would have is needed, and a stray passive by.
  • despite getting bored there - despite reverses the relation; being bored was the alternative, not an obstacle.
  • If you would have told me - would in the if clause.
