The Exclamation PointThe exclamation point is placed at the end of exclamatory sentences. 1. Charge, Chester, charge! The game's afoot; Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge, Cry - God for Harry! England! and Saint George! 2. "Hark!" said Olaf to his Scald, Halfred the Bald, "Listen to that song and learn it! Half my kingdom would I give, As I live, If by such songs you would earn it!" These passages show that the exclamation point is used: 1. At the end of every exclamatory sentence. 2. After an interjection. 3. After a phrase or clause containing an interjection. 4. After other words used with the force of interjections. Write five interrogative sentences; five exclamatory sentences; five sentences using abbreviations.
