1. We must use those eggs soon before they go off — «Off» in this sentence means that the eggs will spoil or become rotten if they are not used soon. Therefore, we use «off» to indicate the state of the eggs.
2. Go on, I’m listening to you — «On» and «with» do not fit in this sentence. «Go on» is an idiomatic expression that means to continue speaking or to proceed with what you were saying.
3. That blouse goes really well with your skirt — «With» is used in this sentence to indicate that the blouse and skirt complement each other. They look good together.
4. My alarm clock went off at 7 o’clock — «Off» is used in this sentence to indicate that the alarm sound stopped. When an alarm goes off, it means that it starts making a loud noise to wake you up. When it stops making the noise, we say that it went off.
