EXCLAMATORY AND ASSERTIVE SENTENCES

An exclamatory sentence expresses a sudden strong feeling.

Examples :

What a short kurti it is! [Exclamatory Sentence]

How short kurti it is! [Exclamatory Sentence]

We can form an Exclamatory Sentence by starting it with 'What' or 'How'.

If we start it with 'What' - 

it should be followed by a noun phrase and then the subject + verb.

If we start it with 'How' -

We should follow it with an adjective or an adverb and then the subject + verb.

Don't forget to end off with an exclamation mark. [ ! ]
