Question

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

Please give me a pair of scissors (cut) cloth.

• A. cut to
• B. cutting to
• C. cutting
• D. to cut

Answer 1

The correct option is D to cut

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 C are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is D since 'to' is in front of the verb 'cut'. Hence, sentence would become: Please give me a pair of scissors to cut cloth.
