Question

We heared the bomb ........ from the hotel where we checked in.

• A. went off
• B. Go off
• C. Gone off
• D. Going off

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Go off

• After verbs of perception like hear, see, watch, etc., we usually use the bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without "to").

• So, "heard the bomb go off" is correct.

• "Went off" is the past tense of "go off". While it can be used in past tense sentences, it doesn't work directly after verbs of perception like "heard" when you're describing the whole action being perceived
