Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.He has no desire for fame.
  • B.I intend going to Calcutta.
  • C.He is too miserly to part with his money.
  • D.He has invited me for dinner.

Answer: D

Correct answer: He has invited me for dinner.

One is invited to a meal, not for it. For would name the purpose of the invitation rather than the event: he invited me to dinner.

The other three are sound:

  • He has no desire for fame - desire for is the standard collocation.
  • I intend going to Calcutta - intend takes either a gerund or a to-infinitive.
  • He is too miserly to part with his money - part with is correct for giving something up.
