1You will find Coca-Cola wherever you ............... .
Wrong!
After "wherever" with future meaning, we use the present simple "go".
2He would never do anything that ............... against his conscience.
Wrong!
After "would never do," the relative clause uses the past form "went".

Wrong!
After "on condition that" with future meaning, we use the present simple "bring".
4I ............... a good time whether I win or lose.

Wrong!
In this indirect question about people's present wishes, the natural form is "want".

Wrong!
In this indirect question about tomorrow, the future form "will be" is correct.
