Question 175

We had a grand party and we enjoyed very much.

Solution

The correct answer is option C.

After enjoyed , usage of reflexive pronoun(ourselves) will be correct.

Reflexive pronoun -When the action done by the subject reflects or turn back upon the subject (doer),we use reflexive pronoun.Each of the reflexive pronoun is used as a object of a verb & refers to same person or thing as that denoted by subject of the verb.

There are certain verbs with which we use reflexive pronoun.Eg- Acquit,abesnt,avail,resign,apply,adjust,enjoy.

Therefore ,in the given sentence ,

`We'is the subject,`enjoyed' (reflexive verb),so we have to use reflexive pronoun `ourselves'.
