Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word
__________ you like to go to the movies tonight?
a) How
b) Had
c) Would
d) Why

Answer 1

Hint: The question deals with choosing the correct word to ask a question. It’s an interrogative sentence since it is asking a question. Any sentence which starts with how, why, would, will, etc. are interrogative sentences.

Complete answer:
The correct answer is option c “would”. So the question is “Would you like to go to the movies tonight?”. “Would” is used to show that the action is in the future. Going to the movies is a matter of going at night which is later in the day.
Option a is wrong because the answer to a “How” question is about explaining a method. How do you bake a chocolate cake? How do you travel to school? The answers to these questions are explanatory and descriptive.
Option b is wrong because “had” is not used to begin an interrogative sentence. No question begins with “had”.
Option d is incorrect because it talks about the reason for an action. Why do you want to go to the party? Why were you late to class? Why did you choose this subject? All of these questions require the answer to be a reason- the reason to go to the party, the reason for being late to class and the reason for choosing that subject.

Note:
It is to be noted that the question will not start with “Will”. The question if used with “Will” would be: Will you go to the movies tonight? Because the phrase “like to” has been included, the question will begin with “Would”.
