NOTES

It is a nuisance. He is a talented boy.
The actress is very beautiful. We have won 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 a nuisance it is! What a talented boy he is!
How beautiful the actress is! Hurrah! We have won the match!
