Exclamations!

Most exclamations in English are preceded by what or how:


–What terrible weather!
–How awful!


What is used much more frequently than how in everyday language.


Exclamations can be as brief as one or two words (What a mess!) or as long as a sentence:

–What a way to end my vacation!


NOTE: Don't forget that what and how are most frequently used in questions:


–What did you say?
–How much does it cost?
