Grammar: Formation of Sentence

Question:

Choose the correct Exclamatory sentence for the following sentence:

He was shocked to see me.

Options:

How shock he was to see me!

How shocked was he to see me!

How shocked was he with seeing me!

How shocked was he seeing me!

Correct Answer:

How shocked was he to see me!

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → How shocked was he to see me!

  • In an exclamatory sentence, we use "How" followed by an adjective to express strong emotions.
  • The correct structure is:
    "How + adjective + subject + verb!"
  • The correct adjective here is "shocked", and the verb is "was".
  • "To see me" is the correct phrase to complete the sentence.

OTHER OPTIONS

"How shock he was to see me!" → "Shock" is a noun; it should be "shocked" (adjective).
"How shocked was he see me!" → Missing "to" before "see".
"How shocked was he with seeing me!" → "With seeing me" is incorrect phrasing.

Thus, the correct option is: "How shocked was he to see me!"
