The teacher tells her students, who promise they will study quietly for three hours, that she won’t give extra assignment. It is a grammar question.
EXPLANATION:
The question above is about grammar agreement with the tenses and conditional clause. The teacher tells her students that she won’t give extra assignment only if the students study as they promise to do. In that sentence, we know that grammatically, it uses the present tense which also can be conditional clause type I. Conditional clause type I is a supposition that an event will surely happen. Conditional clause type I uses the present tense.
Let’s take a look at the sentence in that question. The teacher tells her students that she won’t give an extra assignment. This sentence is in the present tense, which indicates a conditional clause type I. The event that the teacher will not give an extra assignment to her students will mostly happen, only if the students study. Thus, to complete the blank space in the question, we have to put a verb in the present tense: will study.
Why do we have to put the word “will”, instead of simply saying “study”? Because in conditional clause, all of the sentences have to contain will/shall (type I), would/should (type II), and would have been (type III). The teacher tells her students that she won’t give extra assignment if they will study. It can be said also: the teacher tells her students, who promise will study quietly for three hours, that she won’t give extra assignment.
