Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
When we arrived, the people next door invited us ______ a drink with them.
The correct option is A to have
Answer : B
In the sentence, "people" is the Subject, "invited" is the verb and "drink" is the object.
The structure of the sentence is that of Active Voice, i.e. Subject + Verb + Object. The subject is directly acting on the object.
And according to the grammar rules, the infinitive form of the verb is used in sentences with Active Voice. Only infinitives are used after certain verbs followed by nouns or pronouns referring to a person, in this case "us".
The infinitive form can be made by adding "to" before the base form of the verb.
Here, the infinitive verb of "have", is "to have".
And thus, the correct complete sentence is:
When we arrived, the people next door invited us TO HAVE a drink with them.
