Select the most appropriate form of verb to fill in the blanks.
Thanks for reminding me about her birthday. I ________ if you ________ me.

  • A.would have forgotten; hadn't reminded
  • B.have forgotten; don't remind
  • C.were to forget; didn't remind
  • D.had forgotten; hadn't reminded

Answer: A

The right pair is 'would have forgotten; hadn't reminded'. The sentence is a third conditional about the past: 'I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me'. The result clause takes 'would have' + past participle and the condition takes 'if' + past perfect. Option B mixes present forms, option C uses 'were to forget' with a simple past, and option D puts the past perfect in both places, which leaves the main clause without 'would'.
