Choose the correct Exclamatory form of the following Assertive sentence from the options given:
It is a lovely weather.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → What a lovely weather it is!
Assertive to exclamatory (What a ...):
Pattern: What + a/an + adjective + noun + subject + verb + !
In standard usage weather is uncountable and takes no "a" ("What lovely weather it is!"). The option keeps the article of the given sentence, and the pattern is the same.
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | a lovely weather | What a lovely weather | “What” + “a lovely weather” come first. |
| Word order | It is | it is | “It is” follows. |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | The sentence ends with “!”. |
| Full sentence | It is a lovely weather. | What a lovely weather it is! |
Example: It is a beautiful garden. → What a beautiful garden it is!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Weather seems to be lovely! — Incorrect. It has no exclamatory word, and it changes "is" to "seems to be", which weakens the statement.
Option 3: How weather is lovely! — Incorrect. With "How", the adjective comes right after it: "How lovely the weather is!". Here the word order is wrong and "the" is missing.
Option 4: Good weather is lovely! — Incorrect. It has no exclamatory word, and it says something different: that good weather in general is lovely.
Contrast: What a + adjective + noun (What a lovely weather it is!). How + adjective + subject + verb (How lovely the weather is!).
