Correct Answer

How did you go to Paris?
- A.
I go to Paris by plane.
- B.
I goed to Paris by plane.
- C.
I went to Paris by plane.
Correct Answer
C. I went to Paris by plane.Explanation
The correct answer is "I went to Paris by plane." This is the correct answer because it uses the past tense form of the verb "go" (went) to indicate that the action of going to Paris has already happened. Additionally, it correctly uses the preposition "by" to indicate the mode of transportation (plane) used to travel to Paris. The other options ("I go to Paris by plane" and "I goed to Paris by plane") are incorrect because they either use the present tense form of the verb or an incorrect past tense form.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
A. I went with my parents.Explanation
The correct answer is "I went with my parents" because the question is asking about a past event, so the correct verb tense to use is the past tense. "Went" is the past tense of "go," which matches the verb tense in the question. The other options, "goed" and "go," are not in the past tense and do not match the question.Rate this question:

Additionally, the word "there" is used correctly to refer to a specific location. The phrase "two weeks" is also grammatically correct and provides a clear answer to the question about the duration of the person's stay.Rate this question:
