Education English | Exclamation Point (!) | Exclamation point is used at the end of word, idiom, or sentence to show strong impressed or emotion or asking for attention.
Examples: Help! Fire! Watch out! Be careful!
She said she would go, and she went!
Use an exclamation point after heavily stressed, often high-pitched, short sentence, command, phrases, or single words and interjections that convey intense
feeling. (Allen, 2008: 16)
Examples: Yes, and a damnable war it was!
“How exquisite!” Jean exclaimed sarcastially.
Use only the exclamation point when otherwise a comma or semicolon would be required.
