Question

Gupta invited me ___a dinner

Answer 1

Gupta invited me for a dinner.

Answer 2

The answer will be Gupta invited me to a dinner.

• The preposition 'to' is used to fill in the blank of the given sentence.
• A preposition could be defined as a word used to be placed adjacent to the concerned verb to describe the placement of the noun acting with the verb.
• This is because the word for helps describe the reason for the invitation in this case.
• To emphasize the reason for the invitation this preposition has been used.
• Otherwise, the preposition 'for' could also be used. But it does not go with the article 'a' for representing dinner in the given sentence.

Hence, the correct word to be used to fill in the blanks accurately will be Gupta invited me to a dinner.
