He will _____ stop drinking.
A) try and
B) try to
I
I answered B
B is correct, yes.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the grammar rules for using "try" followed by a verb.
In this case, the verb following "try" is "stop." When "try" is followed by another verb, we generally use the base form of the verb (infinitive form) with "to." However, there are some cases where "try" can be followed by "and" followed by another verb.
In the given sentence, the correct option is B) "try to." This is because "try to" is the standard and more common structure to indicate attempting or making an effort to do something. So the sentence should be: "He will try to stop drinking."
Overall, the correct form is "try to" + verb, and not "try and" + verb.
