Multiple choice?
Hi teachers,
There is question that I find difficult.
People who ---- every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefit if that exercise ---- across the day, rather than in a single session.
a- exercise / were spread
b- exercise / are spread
Which one could be the correct answer here? I think B is the correct choice but I'm not sure what makes the option a wrong.
Thank you.

I don't understand, sorry.
"are" and "were" both plural, aren't they?
Can you give a brief explanation?

'Were' is the subjunctive form for both singular and plural subjects.

I think If clause confused me much.
If type 1 (if present / will; may; might)
But in this sentence "if" is in type 2 I guess.
