Exclamatory sentences are used to express strong feelings, emphasis, or emotion. They often begin with "what" or "how" and end with an exclamation point. While rarely used in formal writing, exclamatory sentences make exclamations to convey surprise, praise, anger, or other intense reactions. Examples include "What a beautiful night!" or "How happy we were!" expressing enthusiasm or "I hate homework!" conveying frustration.
