Choose the correct form of the Assertive sentence for the following Exclamatory sentence:

If only I were young again!

I wish I were young again.

The correct answer is Option (3) - I wish I were young again.

The exclamatory sentence "If only I were young again!" expresses a wish or longing. When converting it into an assertive sentence, the phrase "If only" is replaced by "I wish," which retains the same meaning in a non-exclamatory form.

Options:

1. I were young again.

   • Incorrect: This is grammatically incorrect and does not express the sense of wishing.

2. I wished I were young again.

   • Incorrect: This is in the past tense and changes the meaning to a past regret rather than a current wish.

3. I wish I were young again.

   • Correct: This accurately expresses the wish in an assertive form.

4. I had wished I were young again.

   • Incorrect: This is a past perfect tense and changes the meaning to a completed past action.
