Question

Complete the given sentence using the most appropriate option:

We ___ a party last week but some of our friends couldn't come, so we cancelled it.

• A. were going to have
• B. was going to go
• C. have gone to play
• D. will go to take

Answer 1

The correct option is A were going to have

Option A is the correct answer because it is a lot of people who were going to have a party, hence ‘were’ is correctly used.

Option B is incorrect because ‘was’ is used for singular nouns, but here it is a lot of people, hence it is incorrect.

Option C is incorrect because have gone to means it is in the present, but the statement is in the past tense.

Option D is incorrect because it is in the future tense, while the statement is in the past.
