Choose the correct alternative to change the following Assertive sentence into an Exclamatory sentence. I wish I had met you ten years ago. |
To think that I had met you ten years ago! If only I had met you ten years ago! Alas had I met you ten years ago! Nothing better than to have met you ten years ago! |
If only I had met you ten years ago! |
The correct alternative to change the given Assertive sentence into an Exclamatory sentence is (2) "If only I had met you ten years ago!" An exclamatory sentence is used to express strong emotions, wishes, or surprise. In this case, option (2) expresses a strong wish or desire to have met the person ten years ago, and the use of "If only" makes it an emphatic exclamation. It conveys the idea of a missed opportunity or a strong longing, which is appropriate for an exclamatory sentence. |
