An exclamation is a stronger version of a declarative sentence. It means it conveys excitement or emotion.
Structure
Exclamations are formed with the help of two words:
What + nice (adj.) + people (n) + they (sub.) + are (v.)

Exclamatory sentences often end with an exclamation mark (!). But they also (though less frequently) end with a full stop (.).
