Question 1 / 100

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

If only I was young again.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. were young again.

  • When expressing a hypothetical or unreal condition in the present or future, we use the subjunctive mood for the verb 'to be.' The correct form in this case is 'were' instead of 'was.'
  • 'If only I were young again' expresses a wish or desire that is contrary to reality because the speaker cannot actually be young again.
  • This construction is commonly used to express regrets or wishes for something that cannot happen.
