Hi, can someone please advise what is the answer to the grammar question stated below? Thanks!


If she _____ alive today, she would be proud of you.
(1) is
(2) were
(3) was

Answer should be 2. The clue is the word 'would', which in past tense tells you that this is a Conditional Sentence 2 (and the sentence starts with the word 'if' in front). This is a person wishing for a situation which will not come true (possibly because the 'she' referred to in the question had already passed away).
