Choose the correct sentence in each of the following groups of sentences.

  • A.He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
  • B.He knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
  • C.He knew when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious
  • D.He knew where he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

Answer: A

The correct sentence is He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

The subject of will be victorious is the whole phrase He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot: the relative clause who knows... tells us which person is meant. The tenses agree, present knows with future will be.

Option B drops who, leaving two main verbs with one subject. Options C and D mix past knew with present can and also lack a proper subject for will be; D also changes when to where.
