Declarative Sentences: These simply state facts or opinions. They are usually neutral in tone.
Exclamatory Sentences: These express strong emotions like surprise, excitement, anger, or joy. They use an exclamation mark (!) at the end.
Here's how to make the switch:
1. Start with a declarative sentence:
* "The sunset is beautiful."
2. Add an exclamation mark (!):
* "The sunset is beautiful!"
3. Optional: Enhance the emotion:
* Use words like "how," "what," or "how wonderful!"
* "How beautiful the sunset is!"
* "What a beautiful sunset!"
* "The sunset is absolutely breathtaking!"
Key Points:
* Intonation: In spoken language, exclamatory sentences are pronounced with a higher pitch and more emphasis.
* Word Order: You can sometimes rearrange the sentence to emphasize a specific word or phrase.
* Exaggeration: Exaggeration is often used in exclamatory sentences for emphasis.
Examples:
* Declarative: The weather is warm today.
* Exclamatory: How warm the weather is today!
* Declarative: She is a talented artist.
* Exclamatory: She is an incredibly talented artist!
Remember: The goal is to express strong emotion. Don't be afraid to use your creativity and make your exclamation unique!
