—You shouldn’t have gone there alone.
—But I _____, because Tom went there, too.
A. didn’t B. did
which is right? Can A mean “I didn’t go there alone” or B mean" I did go there."
Hi, Vaok
A is the right choice since it says that Tom went there with him - he/she was not alone
(B)
I agree with Lost_Soul.
A (didn’t) is correct.
The first person says: “You shouldn’t have gone there alone.”
That means that the first person believes that the second person went there alone and thinks that going there alone was not a good idea.
The second person then replies: “But I didn’t (go there alone), because Tom went there, too.”
In other words, the first person thought “went there alone” was true, but that was not true. The second person didn’t go there alone.
Amy, thak you very much indeed. now I m sure the suggested answer B is wrong.
