That's to say it needs to have an object. So unless you've specified some other object, such as I don't know what we would have done to entertain our guests without these places, it's syntactically necessary to include a "reflexive" pronouns such as ourselves - or an ordinary pronoun, such as ...to entertain him without them. | |
