What Is Exclamatory Mood?
Exclamatory mood is a type of grammatical mood used to express strong emotions, such as excitement, surprise, joy, or anger. An exclamation may use a declarative sentence but with a different tone or emphasis that conveys a strong emotion.
Structure
Exclamations mood can be indicated with the help of two words:
How lovely to see you!
What a nice lady she is!
What + a nice lady (article + adj. + n) + she (sub.) + is (v.)
Punctuation
Exclamatory sentences are often identified by an exclamation mark (!) at the end, which signals to the reader or listener that the sentence should be read or spoken with a strong emphasis or tone. However, it is also possible for an exclamatory sentence to end with a full stop (.), although this is less common.
What a lovely day!
How silly I am.
