I purchased

No improvement

I have purchased

I will purchase

Let's break it down:

- Original sentence: "If I have money, I purchase this house."

- The sentence implies a future intention, but uses the present tense "purchase," which doesn't fit here.

- Option 1: I purchased

- Incorrect. "Purchased" is past tense, but the condition is about having money in the present or near future.

- Option 2: No improvement

- Incorrect. The current sentence doesn't accurately convey the intended future action.

- Option 3: I have purchased

- Incorrect. This is present perfect tense, implying the action is completed. This doesn't match the conditional structure.

- Option 4: I will purchase

- Correct. This uses the future tense "will purchase," which is appropriate for expressing a future action upon meeting a condition.
