Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition from those given in the options.

My friend invited me _____ his house for dinner.

• A. In
• B. To
• C. At
• D. Inside

Answer 1

The correct option is B To

'To' is a preposition of movement. Eg. One travels to a restaurant but arrives at a restaurant.

'At' is used when the focus is on a particular place or a spot. Eg. I am at the party, we were at his house last night for dinner.

However when the focus is on the verb (here 'invited'), 'to' is more apt as a preposition. Therefore B is the correct option,

'In' is used to refer to the position of someone or something in large places like country, city, etc. Eg. We are in Hyderabad.

'Inside' is usually used to refer to small places. For Eg. Yancey called from inside the house. However 'in' and 'inside as prepositions are used when the focus is on the place. And 'at' is used when the focus is on a specific place. Therefore A, C, and D are incorrect,

Option B is the correct answer.
