How do you change interrogatative to exclamatory?

You can't directly "change" an interrogative sentence into an exclamatory one. They serve different purposes and have distinct structures.

Here's a breakdown:

Interrogative Sentences:

* Purpose: To ask a question.

* Structure: Usually begin with question words (who, what, where, when, why, how) or auxiliary verbs (do, does, did, is, are, was, were).

* Example: "Where are you going?"

Exclamatory Sentences:

* Purpose: To express strong emotion (surprise, excitement, anger, etc.).

* Structure: Often start with "What" or "How," followed by a statement. Can also use an exclamation mark (!) at the end.

* Example: "What a beautiful day!"

How to Express Similar Ideas:

Instead of "changing" an interrogative sentence, you can rewrite it to convey a similar meaning in an exclamatory way. Here's how:

1. Identify the core information: From the interrogative sentence, determine the key fact or event.

2. Express it with strong emotion: Use exclamation words and structure to convey the feeling you want.

Example:

* Interrogative: "Where did you find that amazing hat?"

* Exclamatory: "What a fantastic hat you found!"

Remember: While you can express similar ideas, an interrogative sentence asks a question, while an exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion.
