अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (1) We knew that India would win the match.
काळाचा क्रम (Sequence of Tenses) चा नियम:
•
जर मुख्य वाक्यातील क्रियापद भूतकाळात (Past Tense) असेल (उदा. 'knew'), तर गौण वाक्यातील (Subordinate clause) क्रियापदही भूतकाळातच असावे.
•
'Will' चे भूतकाळी रूप 'would' असल्याने "We knew that India would win the match" हे वाक्य व्याकरणदृष्ट्या पूर्णपणे बरोबर आहे.
इतर पर्यायांचे विश्लेषण:
•
पर्याय (2) 'knew' (भूतकाळ) सोबत 'will' (भविष्यकाळ) वापरल्याने चुकीचे आहे.
•
पर्याय (3) 'know' (वर्तमानकाळ) सोबत 'would' चा अकारण वापर चुकीचा आहे.
•
पर्याय (4) 'knew' (भूतकाळ) सोबत 'can' (वर्तमानकाळ) वापरल्याने चुकीचे आहे (तेथे 'could' हवे होते).
📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: Sequence of Tenses:
मुख्य वाक्य Past Tense मध्ये असल्यास Subordinate clause मध्ये will ऐवजी would, shall ऐवजी should, can ऐवजी could आणि may ऐवजी might चा वापर केला जातो.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (1) We knew that India would win the match.
Rule for Sequence of Tenses:
•
When the verb in the principal clause is in the Past Tense (e.g., 'knew'), the verb in the subordinate clause must also be in a corresponding past tense.
•
The past equivalent of 'will' is 'would', making *"We knew that India would win the match"* grammatically correct.
Analysis of incorrect options:
•
Option (2): Pairs past tense 'knew' with future 'will' (violates sequence of tenses).
•
Option (3): Pairs present tense 'know' with past modal 'would' without conditional basis.
•
Option (4): Pairs past tense 'knew' with present modal 'can' (should be 'could').
📌 MPSC Exam Tip: Sequence of Tenses rule: A past tense in the main clause must be followed by a past tense in the subordinate clause (change will $\rightarrow$ would, can $\rightarrow$ could, may $\rightarrow$ might).
