| Change | Exclamatory | Assertive | Why |

| Opening words | How | very | “How” is replaced by “very”. |
| Word order | How well you dance | You dance very well | The normal order subject + verb + adverb is used. |
| End mark | (!) | (.) | The exclamation mark becomes a full stop. |
| Full sentence | How well you dance! | You dance very well. |
