Choose the correct option to change the following sentence into an Exclamatory Sentence.
You write great poetry.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → What great poetry you write!
Assertive to exclamatory with "What":
Pattern: What (a/an) + adjective + noun + subject + verb + !
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | great poetry | What great poetry | What + adjective + noun: “What great poetry” (“poetry” is uncountable, so no “a”). |
| Word order | You write great poetry | What great poetry you write | Subject + verb: “you write”. |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | The full stop becomes an exclamation mark. |
| Full sentence | You write great poetry. | What great poetry you write! |
Example: She has a very sweet voice. → What a sweet voice she has!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: What poetry you write? — Incorrect. It drops "great" and ends with a question mark, so it is no longer an exclamation.
Option 2: How do you write poetry! — Incorrect. It is a question about the method of writing, with an exclamation mark added, and "great" is lost.
Option 4: How to write great poetry! — Incorrect. It has no subject or finite verb. It reads like the title of a lesson.
