Question

Fill in the blank with suitable option-
I'd like _ _ _ _ _ _ somewhere different for a change.
a) Went
b) To go
c) Go
d) Going

Answer 1

Hint: We have been given different verb forms of the base word “go”. The sentence has a sense of future tense in it where the speaker wants to go somewhere in near future.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to fill in the blank with an appropriate form of the verb. All the verb forms depending on the tense of the given sentence. Here, the sentence is - I'd like _ _ _ _ somewhere different for a change. This sentence is in a future tense.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer:
Option ‘a’ is Went. It is the past tense of ‘go’. ‘Gone' is the past participle of ‘go’. ‘Went' doesn’t need an auxiliary verb (has, have, etc.) before it. But, the given sentence is in future tense and not in the past tense.
Option ‘b’ is To go. To go is to move from one place to another. This is in the same tense as that of the given sentence.
Option ‘c’ is Go. ‘Go' is a verb which means to move from one place to another. It has to have conjunction before it while using in any sentence.
Option ‘d’ is Going. This is in the present continuous tense, which is not needed in the given sentence. So, this is an incorrect option.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct option. Here, the verb form which will fill in the blank is – To go. The complete sentence would be - I'd like to go somewhere different for a change. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct answer.

Note:
Don’t get confused between ‘go’ and ‘to go'. The sentence wouldn’t be grammatically correct if we use ‘go’ in place of ‘to go'.
