感叹句(exclamation ;Exclamatory sentences)有多种表现形式,有时一个单词、短语或一个词组也可成为感叹句。如:Hello!(喂!),The design and the colours!(多美丽的图案和色彩啊!);有时陈述句、疑问句以及祈使句也可以转化成感叹句,如:What a nice boy!(多好的孩子!)How can you be so silly!(你怎么这么傻!)Don’t go with us!(别跟我们一起去!)。尽管感叹句的表现形式多种多样,但主要的表现形式只有两种,即what和how引导的感叹句。what修饰名词,how修饰形容词、副词或动词。
