Question

Which of the following contains an error in verb voice?

I might lose more weight if I exercised more often.
We could get together more often if I were not so busy.
If you would like to join us, then stop playing that game.
You are happier if you gave up that annoying habit.

Answer 1

The answer here is actually quite obvious, considering the poor spelling and all.

The answer would be D; You are happier if you gave up that annoying habit.

To make this sentence sound slightly better, lets change some things so you can see the difference.

> I would be happier if you gave up that annoying habit.

> They may be happier if you gave up that annoying habit of yours.

Just 2 different ways to see that sentence, but do they sound any better? Please let me know if I'm incorrect about this answer or confusing you.

Answer 2

Gave, it should be:
You are happier if you give up that annoying habit.
