Exclamations with What and How
Exclamations express strong feelings like surprise, excitement, admiration, or disappointment. In English, we form exclamations with What (for nouns) and How (for adjectives or adverbs).
What + (a/an) + adjective + noun! “What a beautiful day!” “What nice people!” “What an interesting story!“
How + adjective/adverb + subject + verb! “How lovely she is!” “How fast he runs!” “How kind of you!“
Examples
- “What a big house!”
- “What delicious food!”
- “How wonderful!”
- “How quickly time passes!”
