Question

НАЙТИ ОШИБКУ if we had not taken a wrong turning back there, we would not have been in this mess now.

Answer 1

If we had not taken a wrong turning back there, we would not BE in this mess now.

Answer 2

The error in the given sentence is the use of "turning" after "wrong." The correct form should be "if we had not taken a wrong turn back there, we would not have been in this mess now."

Alternatively, if you want to use "turning," you could say "if we had not taken a wrong turning back there, we would not be in this mess now." Both forms are grammatically correct, but the original sentence contains an error.
