Exclamatory Sentence - Glossary of Terms


Exclamatory Sentence

An exclamatory sentence, or exclamation, is a more forceful version of a declarative sentence.  An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark.

Examples:

Here she comes!
I am not taking it!

An imperative sentence (i.e. an order) can end with an exclamation mark too.
 
Example:

Leave it alone! (This is not an exclamatory sentence, but an imperative sentence.)
