Assertive to exclamatory sentence:
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feeling and ends with an exclamation mark.
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interjection | It is a matter of joy that | Hurrah! | A phrase such as “It is a matter of joy that ...” is replaced by an interjection showing that feeling: joy becomes “Hurrah!” (sorrow becomes “Alas!”). |
| Full sentence | It is a matter of joy that we have won the match. | Hurrah! we have won the match |
Example: It is a matter of joy that we got a holiday. → Hurrah! we got a holiday.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Hurry! we have won the match — Incorrect. Hurry is a verb meaning "move quickly". It does not express joy.
Option 3: Hari! we have won the match — Incorrect. Hari is a name. Calling out a name is not an interjection of joy.
Option 4: Harry! we have won the match — Incorrect. Harry is a name (as a verb, it means to harass). It does not express joy.
