 Punctuation: Use of Exclamation Mark














Exclamation Mark (!)

An exclamation mark is used to show emphasis. It can be used in the middle of a sentence or at the end of a sentence. When used at the end of a sentence, it also takes on the role of a full stop or a period.



We often use an exclamation mark (!) to show strong emotion or give a command.

Examples:

  • Stop!
  • Yeah!
  • Sit down!
  • What a lovely view you have here!
  • That’s fantastic!
  • Johnny, don’t touch that!
  • Help!
  • Good heavens!
  • Aaarrgh!
