§Grammar and usage
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feeling and ends with an exclamation mark ('What a beautiful day!'); an interjection is a word that expresses sudden feeling (Oh!, Alas!, Hurrah!, Bravo!); in narration, exclamatory sentences change to 'exclaimed with joy/sorrow that'.
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: exclamatory sentence तीव्र भावना व्यक्त करता है और विस्मयादिबोधक चिह्न पर समाप्त होता है ('What a beautiful day!'); interjection अचानक भावना व्यक्त करने वाला शब्द है (Oh!, Alas!, Hurrah!, Bravo!); narration में exclamatory sentences 'exclaimed with joy/sorrow that' में बदलते हैं।
