GATE Overflow Test Series | Verbal Aptitude | Test 1 | Question: 23

Question

From among the given sentences pick the grammatically INCORRECT one:
      

• A. I'm going to home.
• B. Send this letter to my address.
• C. They came for driving.
• D. He goes to his work.

Answer 1

We use the prepositions at, on and in for position.
"to" is used for movement or direction.
No preposition is used with verbs of movement and the noun "home". So, "I'm going home" is the correct sentence.

Comments

I agree that option A is grammatically INCORRECT.

But, how is option C a grammatically correct sentence?

If you replace “driving” with “food”, “snacks”, “money”, “aid” it is still correct. Driving here is a gerund.
