Q1 15

Question 1: Which sentence is a correctly formed exclamatory sentence?

Question 1 options
'What a beautiful day!' is correct because exclamatory sentences using 'What a' follow the pattern: What a/an + adjective + singular countable noun + exclamation mark. The other options either use incorrect word order or missing articles.
Q2 15

Question 2: ___ kind people they are!

Question 2 options
'What' is correct because when expressing strong emotion about plural nouns, we use 'What + adjective + plural noun'. 'How' is used before an adjective or adverb alone, not before a noun phrase. 'Such' and 'So' do not begin exclamatory sentences with this structure.
Q3 15

Question 3: Exclamatory sentences always end with an exclamation mark (!).

Question 3 options
True because by definition, exclamatory sentences express strong emotions and are marked with an exclamation mark at the end. This punctuation distinguishes them from declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences.
Q4 15

Question 4: A friend shouts 'How fast he runs!' at a race. What does this exclamatory sentence express?

Question 4 options
'How fast he runs!' expresses strong admiration or surprise at the speed of the runner. The 'How + adjective/adverb + subject + verb' structure is used to show a strong emotional reaction to a quality or action.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • it was
  • performance
  • an amazing
  • !
  • What

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'What an amazing performance it was!' because exclamatory sentences with 'What a/an' follow the pattern: What + a/an + adjective + singular noun + subject + verb.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'How well she dances!' is correct because the 'How' exclamatory structure uses: How + adjective/adverb + subject + verb. The other options use incorrect word order or missing elements in the 'How' exclamatory pattern.
Q7 15

Question 7: Tom sees his friend's new house for the first time and is very surprised. Which sentence fits best? 'What ___ house!'

Question 7 options
'a lovely' is correct because the exclamatory structure 'What a/an + adjective + singular countable noun' requires both the article 'a' and an adjective before the noun. 'lovely' is an adjective describing the house, and 'a' is needed before a singular countable noun.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'What' (not 'How') in an exclamatory sentence?

Question 8 options
'What terrible weather we are having!' is correct because 'What' is used before nouns (here 'weather' is an uncountable noun). 'How' is used before adjectives or adverbs, not before noun phrases.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • is
  • interesting
  • this story
  • !
  • How

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'How interesting this story is!' because the 'How' exclamatory pattern requires: How + adjective + subject + verb.
Q10 15

Question 10: She is ___ a talented musician!

Question 10 options
'Such' is correct because 'such a/an + adjective + singular countable noun' is a fixed exclamatory structure. 'So' is used before adjectives or adverbs alone without a noun, 'What' and 'How' begin the sentence rather than follow the subject.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about exclamatory sentences using 'How' is true?

Question 11 options
'How' in exclamatory sentences is followed directly by an adjective or adverb, then the subject and verb (e.g. 'How brave she is!'). It does not introduce a noun phrase or question word order.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite as an exclamatory sentence using 'What': 'The garden is very beautiful.' → ___ beautiful garden it is!

Question 12 options
'What a' is correct because 'garden' is a singular countable noun, so the exclamatory structure requires 'What a/an + adjective + singular countable noun + subject + verb'. 'What' alone is used for uncountable or plural nouns.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each exclamatory sentence to its correct grammar structure.

Question 13 options
What a clever boy he is!
What lovely flowers!
How bravely she spoke!
He is such a funny person!
What + adjective + plural noun
What a/an + adjective + singular countable noun
How + adverb + subject + verb
Subject + verb + such a/an + adjective + singular noun

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

'What a/an + adjective + singular noun' is for singular countable nouns; 'What + adjective + plural/uncountable noun' is for plural or uncountable nouns; 'How + adjective/adverb + subject + verb' expresses strong emotion about a quality; 'Such a/an + adjective + singular noun' follows the subject of the sentence.
Q14 15

Question 14: The sentence 'What nice weather!' is a correctly formed exclamatory sentence, even though there is no article before 'weather'.

Question 14 options
True because 'weather' is an uncountable noun, and the exclamatory structure for uncountable nouns is 'What + adjective + uncountable noun' without an article. The article 'a/an' is only used with singular countable nouns in this structure.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best expresses strong surprise in a formal written context?

Question 15 options
'How extraordinary this discovery is!' is the most appropriate for formal written contexts because the 'How + adjective + subject + verb' structure sounds more formal and complete. 'So cool!' and 'Wow, amazing!' are informal spoken expressions, and 'What a thing!' lacks descriptive detail.
