Sentence Correction

• If I am in Lahore, I will contact you.

Explanation

There are two errors in this sentence: one is related to the use of conditional sentences, and the second is related to prepositions.

Error 1: Incorrect Use of “Will” in the If-Clause

In conditional sentences, we do not write “will” in the if-clause (the part after “if”) when referring to a future event.

Instead, we use the present simple or indefinite tense in the if-clause and the future tense (will + verb) in the main clause.

Error 2: Incorrect Use of “Contact to You”

I taught you that the verb “contact” is not followed by the preposition “to” in English.

It is a transitive verb, meaning it takes a direct object.

So, replace “Will” from the first clause and “To” from the second clause to fix the errors.
