Today we are going to learn about the definition of exclamatory sentences and their meaning, and see why they are important with the help of different set of more than 10 examples.
What are Exclamatory Sentences?
An exclamatory sentence makes a statement that conveys strong emotion, surprise, pain or excitement. An exclamation point is placed at the end of such sentences.
The exclamation words used in the exclamation sentences to show sudden changing emotions and thoughts. For example:
“I scored 100 in my exam!” Now that’s a sentence which reflects your achievement in a happier way. In English language, we have a different branch called exclamations which deals with such emotions. Now why are they important? The exclamation mark (!) signifies a strong emotion that’s being expressed. Consider –
- I got a free coupon.
- I got a free coupon!
Given that, these two sentences would be considered differently in terms of a user’s feel. First one just gives a random meaning that a free coupon has been acquired. But consider the second one. The exclamation there illustrates that, the person is filled with joy that a coupon has been received. That means, it contains excitement with a little louder voice. Now let’s dive deeper into the topic.
An exclamatory sentence need not be a positive one in every case. It can be in a sense of happiness, excitement or even moody. Whenever an exclamation is mentioned, it states that something’s been more precisely mentioned with a strong emotion. And also some exclamatory specific words will be there. In presence of those words, a sentence becomes more strong. Let’s see some examples –
