Exclamatives: What - Such - So - How

An EXCLAMATION expresses a strong feeling, an acute emotion, that you want to make other people share or at least understand.

There are different ways to build an exclamative clause: if the exclamative is related to a NOMINAL GROUP (determiner+ noun+ adjective) or to an ADJECTIVE (or an adverb).

1) Nominal Group: => WHAT+ determiner (+ adjective) + noun ( + verbal group) ! // Verbal Group+ SUCH + determiner (+ adjective) + noun.

- What a lovely girl (she is)!= She is such a lovely girl! (countable in the singular). 

- What silly boys (they are)!= They're such silly boys! (countable in the plural).

- What terrible weather! It's such terrible weather! (uncountable) 

2) ADJECTIVE and adverb: HOW + adjective/ adverb (+ verbal group) ! //  Verbal group + SO = adjective/ adverb.

- How exciting (it was)!= It was so exciting! 

- How fast you run!= You run so fast! 

Quite easy, isn't it? Come on, try the test!
