Exclamatory sentence:
- An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling such as surprise, joy or admiration.
- It often begins with What or How, keeps the subject before the verb, and ends with an exclamation mark.
- This sentence: "How clever the crow is!" expresses admiration for the crow's cleverness.
Example: How beautiful the sunset is!
(A) Do the sentences state anything? — Incorrect.
- It asks a question: an interrogative sentence.
(B) How clever the crow is! — Correct.
- It begins with "How" and expresses strong feeling.
(C) Karim hit him hard. — Incorrect.
- It states a fact: an assertive sentence.
(D) Close the door! — Incorrect.
- It gives an order.
- The exclamation mark only adds force, so it is an imperative sentence.
Contrast: an exclamation mark alone does not make a sentence exclamatory. An order ending with "!" is still imperative.
