    Exclamation/What or How
    Message from angrepa posted on 28-02-2014 at 01:21:41 (D | E | F)
    Hello!
    My doubt is this: in exercise 103415, sentence number 6, why should it be "What" and not "How"?
    Thank you for any reply
    Angrepa

    Hello,
    'What' is followed by (adjective) + noun. (what + object + subject + verb)
    (what helpful dogs they are!)
    'How' is followed by an adjective or an adverb. (how + adj/adv + subject + verb)
    (how hepful dogs are!)
    Therefore, 'what' is the most appropriate for this sentence: what helpful dogs they are!
    Regards.
