We could go on an excursion, if we didn’t have exam. (suggestion/condition)

उत्तर
condition
Explanation:
This sentence is a classic example of a conditional statement (specifically, the Second Conditional). The action of going on an excursion depends entirely on the hypothetical scenario established by the ‘if’ clause, without having an exam. Because the possibility of the trip is directly tied to a specific requirement being met, ‘could’ is used to express a conditional outcome rather than merely offer a general suggestion.
