Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I tried _____ you that you were making a mistake, but you didn't listen.

• A. Tell
• B. To tell
• C. Telling
• D. Told

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

To tell

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 'tell'.
