What is an "exclamation point"?
An exclamation point (!) is a punctuation mark used to convey strong feelings, excitement, or emphasis in a sentence. It often indicates a command, an exclamation, or a sudden emotion. For example, in the sentence, “Watch out!” the exclamation point shows urgency or alertness. It can also express joy, surprise, or enthusiasm, as seen in “What a beautiful day!” The exclamation point is generally used at the end of a sentence, but it can also appear within a sentence when expressing an intense reaction. Its primary role is to enhance the tone of writing, making it more expressive and impactful.
