Question

Choose the correct option to replace the word(s) given in brackets:

He wished (be) there inside the hotel.

• A. being to
• B. to be
• C. been
• D. been to

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

to be

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, C and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is B since 'to' is in front of the verb 'be'. Hence, sentence would become: He wished to be there inside the hotel.
