NOTES



             It is an excuse.
             The actress is very arrogant.               SENTENCES

             He is a clever boy                          WITHOUT EMOTIONS
             We have lost the match.


            These groups of words are in a simple order. They end with a full stop.
            They don’t show emotion.


            We begin an exclamatory sentence with ‘What a….!’ if the predicate
            contains an adjective and a noun and ‘How ……. !’ if the predicate

            contains only an adjective.


            In other cases, we use the emotive words like alas, hush, ouch, oh my God, etc.

            Exclamatory sentences usually end with a mark of exclamation [!] and
            have a different word order.


             What an excuse it is!
             How arrogant the actress is!                SENTENCES
             What a clever boy he is!                    WITH EMOTIONS
