Question

Fill in the blank with the gerund, infinitive or other appropriate form of the verb:
Linda asked her friend _____ her an ice cream.

• A. buying
• B. bought
• C. to buy
• D. buy

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The correct option is C to buy
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. Thus, options A, B and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is C since 'to' is in front of the verb 'buy'. Hence, sentence would become: Linda asked her friend to buy her an ice cream.
