The exclamation mark

Posted in Grammar and Vocabulary by wordman on the June 30th, 2009

An exclamation mark which is characterized by the following symbol “!” is used to express surprise at a particular part of a text, whether because it is unusual or surprising. In dialogue, it is used to convey the emotions from the speaker although it can be used as a command as well.  An exclamation mark, just like a question mark is only ever placed at the very end of a sentence. Exclamation marks should be used sparingly in writing.
