Answer 2

Answer:

• According to the given question the right answer is (a) true. Though here is no underlined word, it is 'to go'. 'To go' is a to-infinitive.

Explanation :

• Verbs are of two types and they are finite verb and non-finite verb.

• 'To-infinitive' belongs to Non-finite Verb.

• Non Finite Verb does not change according to tense, person, number but Finite Verb changes. Here finite verb is 'did not want '.

• Let's see how Finite Verb changes and Non-Finite Verb doesn't change according to tense, person and number. Examples - Ravi did not want to go to the park. Ravi wants to go to the park. Now finite verb has changed but non-finite verb has not changed and it is 'to go'.

• When preposition 'to' is used before a verb, it is called 'to-infinitive'. Present form of verb is always used after 'to' and here it is 'go' ( to go ).

• Example : I like to dance. He went to the market to buy some vegetables. Come with me to bring back your book.
