Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
It’s never too late ________.
A) Being learned
B) Not too learn
C) Learned
D) Learning
E) To learn

Answer 1

Hint: Infinite verb is basically a base form of the verb with the word ‘to’ in front of it. When we see an infinitive verb, the ‘to’ is the part of the verb. For example: To be, to have, to hold, to sleep, to spend and etc.

Complete answer:
Option A) Being learned – is an incorrect answer because ‘being learned’ is not an infinite verb because infinite verb is the base form of the verb. So, the base form of the verb learn is learn only. So, this option is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Not too learn – is an incorrect answer because ‘not too learn’ again is not an infinite verb. So, considering this as a correct answer is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Learned – is an incorrect answer because ‘learned’ is past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Learning – is an incorrect answer because ‘learning’ is the process of acquiring knowledge, understanding, behaviors, skills etc. Thus, learning is not the base form of the verb. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option E) To learn – is the correct answer because ‘to learn’ is the base form of the verb learn and this is also an infinite verb because ‘to’ is used in front of it. So, the use of ‘to learn’ is the correct answer.
It’s never too late to learn. (Option E)

Hence the correct answer is option ‘E’.

Note:The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. This verb is always just a verb. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of the verb. Here, to-infinitive is used with adverbs. 'Late' is used as an adverb in the sentence. Thus, options A, B, C and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is E since 'to' is in front of the verb 'learn' and used with an adverb.
