Kinds of Sentence

Question:

Convert the following sentence from Assertive to Exclamatory:

I wish I could meet my friend again.

Options:

If only I could meet my friend again!

My friend I would like meet very much.

A meeting with my friend is what I wish.

I have one wish! I want meet my friend again!

Correct Answer:

If only I could meet my friend again!

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - If only could meet my friend again!

To convert an assertive sentence expressing a wish into an exclamatory sentence, the structure typically starts with phrases like "If only" or "How I wish." This conveys strong emotion or longing.

  1. If only I could meet my friend again!

    • Correct: It conveys the same meaning as the original sentence with an exclamatory tone.
  2. My friend I would like meet very much.

    • Incorrect: This is grammatically incorrect and does not retain the meaning or the exclamatory tone.
  3. A meeting with my friend is what I wish.

    • Incorrect: This is another assertive sentence, not an exclamatory one.
  4. I have one wish! I want meet my friend again!

    • Incorrect: While it expresses a wish, the grammar ("want meet") is flawed, and it doesn't fully convey the exclamatory nature of longing.
