Grammar: Formation of Sentence

Question:

Choose the correct exclamatory form of the sentence from the options given below:

I never thought of meeting you here.

Options:

To meet here I thought of you!

To meet you here I thought!

To think I would meet you here!

To meet and think of you here.

Correct Answer:

To think I would meet you here!

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → To think I would meet you here!

The original sentence, "I never thought of meeting you here," expresses surprise or astonishment at an unexpected meeting.

The exclamatory form "To think..." is a standard English construction used to express disbelief or surprise that a particular event occurred. It is a concise way of saying, "It is surprising to think that..."

  • To think I would meet you here! effectively captures the sudden, unexpected nature of the meeting, conveying the original sentence's meaning in an exclamatory tone.
