It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Helen and her family decided to go to the local park. The sky was so clear! When they entered the park, Helen's little brother, Jack, couldn't contain his excitement. "What a big playground!" he shouted, running towards the swings. Helen followed Jack and saw her friend Lily by the fountain. "How wonderful to see you here!" exclaimed Helen, and they both laughed. Lily had a new bicycle, and it was bright red. "What a cool bike!" Helen said, admiring it. They all decided to have a picnic under a large oak tree. Helen's mum unpacked the basket and said, "It is such lovely weather for a picnic!" Everyone agreed. The sandwiches were delicious, and Jack said, "This is the best cheese sandwich ever!" After lunch, they played some games. Helen was surprised at how fast her dad could run. "How quickly you caught up!" she said, out of breath. When it was time to go home, they were all very happy but a bit tired. "What a perfect day!" Helen thought, as they walked back home.

In English, when we feel very happy, surprised, or even scared, we often use exclamatory sentences to express our strong feelings. These sentences are like little bursts of emotion that help us share exactly how we feel with others. Let's look at some simple examples from everyday life.
