Thanks for the explanation

If we use would as a past tense and how we can say like it is use to show the future. Can you please explain me the proper use of word would?

"would" shows future in the past. So the rules were established in the past to ensure something in the future

Or take the below sentence

If I were you, I would explain the situation to her immediately

And why we are using "were" in the sentence?


Hello Vatsal7794,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can help resolve your doubts.

When "would" is used as a future tense verb, it is used to refer to information relayed in the past, regarding a future event. For example, "I said that I would be on time." Here "being on time" is a future action, as it has not taken place yet, but the action of conveying this information, "said that", happened in the past. Another usage of "would" in the future tense is referring to hypothetical or uncertain events; “will” is preferred for referring to events that are certain to happen, and “would” is preferred for referring to events that are hypothetical.

Regarding your second question, this sentence uses "were" to refer to the singular pronoun "I", as this sentence is in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used to express commands, demands, suggestions, and necessity, to express wishes or hypotheses, and to express information contrary to fact. The given sentence makes use of a standard subjunctive mood construction “wishful trigger ("if" in this sentence) + plural form of verb ("were" in this sentence)”.

To understand the concept of "Subjunctive Mood" on GMAT, you may want to watch the following video (~20 minutes):



All the best!

(A) must be warned of potential risks and an independent panel would
must be warned is a absolute command which is not required therefore out

(B) must be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel
Similar reasoning as A and would is required in the end therefore out

(C) are warned about potential risks and that an independent panel
would is necessary in the end otherwise perfect however out

(D) will be warned about potential risks and an independent panel would
will is something in the future which isn't appropriate since the patients has to be informed during the test therefore out

(E) would be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel would
THe subjective mood and meaninig is perfect therefore let us hang on to it

THerefore IMO E

in A] can't we say 'THAT' is common for both X and Y in parallel list. We have done that in many OG qsns. Please clarify what the rule. do we need two THAT all the time in such a parallel list ?

what is wrong in using ''must''

The federal rules aimed at protecting human subjects of medical experiments were established to ensure that patients must be warned of potential risks and an independent panel would evaluate the experiment before it was conducted.

Option Elimination -

(A) must be warned of potential risks and an independent panel would - As RonTargetTestPrep pointed out, "ensure" and "must" convey the same meaning. Using both is redundant. The tense on both sides of AND needs to be parallel. "must be warned" - Present, "would evaluate" - Past. Wrong

(B) must be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel - "ensure" and "must" convey the same meaning. Using both is redundant. Both the events, the warning, and the evaluation, are future events said in the past, so "would be warned" - past and "would evaluate" - past is preferred.

(C) are warned about potential risks and that an independent panel - Both the events, the warning, and the evaluation, are future events said in the past, so "would be warned" - past and "would evaluate" - past is preferred. Also, "warned of" is preferred when indicating that someone is being informed or made aware of a specific danger, risk, or potential issue. For example, "Patients must be warned of potential risks" is a common and clear expression.

(D) will be warned about potential risks and an independent panel would - same as C.

(E) would be warned of potential risks and that an independent panel would - ok
