Exclamatory sentences show strong feeling and often end with an exclamation point. They can express surprise, joy, anger, or amazement through their structure and chosen words.
Formation
Exclamatory sentences often begin with what or how and invert the usual word order to highlight the emotion. They can also be short interjections followed by a noun or an adjective.
Examples
¡Qué día tan hermoso es este!
