Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
"You ____ her house, she has already left the town".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → need not go to
- “Go to” is the correct verb phrase used with a place.
- “Need not” is followed by the base form of the verb without “to”.
Comparing Option 1 vs. Option 3:
-
Option 3 ("need not go"): If we used this, the sentence would read: "You need not go her house." This is grammatically "broken" because you cannot "go a house"; you must go to a house.
-
Option 1 ("need not go to"): This completes both the modal requirement and the directional requirement: "You need not go to her house."
