Question

Use the correct form of the underlined verb When I went to met him, he was not at the office

• A. Meeting
• B. Had met
• C. Meet
• D. Was meeting

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Meet

When a verb follows a preposition (like 'to', 'for', 'at', 'in', 'on', etc.), it typically takes the infinitive form. The infinitive form of a verb is usually preceded by 'to' and consists of the base form of the verb (e.g., 'to go', 'to eat', 'to meet').

Infinitive Structure:

• Preposition + Infinitive

In the given context, 'to' is a preposition indicating purpose. The action following the preposition should be in its base or infinitive form.
