Question
Select the option that will improve the bold part of the
given sentence. If he was knowing the answer , he would have told us.Solution
The verb “know” is non-continuous and is not used in the continuous form in this context.
The sentence is conditional, referring to an unreal past situation.
The correct structure is: If + subject + past simple, subject + would have + past participle.
So, "If he knew the answer, he would have told us" is grammatically and contextually correct.
