Default dimension

Let V be a finite dimensional vector space. Show that if W1,....,Wn are subspaces of V such that none of these subspaces are qeual to V, then Union of all these subspaces does not equal V.

i am thinking induction on dim V might help but do not really have idea how to go bout it. so please help.
