Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
They _______ going _______ a car this year.

• A. aren't / get
• B. aren't / getting
• C. aren't / to get
• D. aren't / got

Answer 1

The correct option is C aren't / to get

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. The sentence highlights the purpose or intention of an action. Thus, options A, B and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is C since 'to' is in front of the verb 'get'. Hence, sentence would become: They aren't going to get a car this year.
