Exclamatory Mood

'The exclamatory mood' is easily defined when people use it in speaking because they change their voice tone in order to express their feelings.
But the only way to define the exclamatory mood in a passage is to look at the end of the sentences to see if there is an exclamation mark or not. Because more often than not, there is an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence.

Sometimes it is hard to decide whether the sentence is a declarative or an exclamatory one because sometimes declarative sentences are followed by an exclamation mark but they are not considered exclamatory.
In this case, it is really important to put emphasis on certain words to make the mood of the sentence clear.

The exclamatory mood can also be formed by wh-words (what and how ). In this case, we will face 'anastrophe' that is described as an unusual disarrangement in the word order which is actually done deliberately.
For example, interrogative words (what, how) are usually followed by an auxiliary to make interrogative sentences, but in the exclamatory mood, the word order is different.

Sometimes English learners tend to shorten the exclamatory sentences by omitting the verb in exclamations with (what, and how). In this case, an exclamatory expression is formed. Take a look at some examples:

Here are the examples:

'Exclamation questions' are interrogative sentences that are not followed by a question mark; instead, they are followed by an exclamation mark. As a result, they express the meaning and emotion of an exclamatory sentence.

Exclamatory sentences are used to reveal emotions. There are different ways to make exclamatory sentences; here are the most important exclamatives.
