  • Exclamatory Sentence Examples

    An exclamatory sentence makes a statement that conveys strong emotion or excitement. Placing that tiny stripe above a period at the end of a sentence can really rock the boat! For example:

    “I got the concert tickets!”

    "Ugh! Why are you yelling at me?"

    "I'm not!"

    Have you ever had a text conversation go something like that? Your friend is trying to convey excitement and instead of throwing in some emojis, she uses exclamation marks. No big deal, but it can come across as a different kind of emotion, like anger or frustration.
