Grammar 语法小结
感叹句
感叹句一般是用来表示说话时的喜悦、惊讶等情感。英语感叹句常用“what”和“how”引导，句子其它部分用陈述句语序。
1.“what”引导的感叹句what +(a/ an)+ adj. +n. +主语+谓语+(it is).
“what”意为”多么“,用来修饰名词(被强调部分)，单数可数名词前要加a/an，例如：
What a clever girl May is!多么聪明的阿美呀!
What a funny story it is! 多么有趣的故事呀!
What good children they are!他们是多么好的孩子呀!
2.“how”引导的感叹句How+adj.(adv.)+主语+谓语+( it is ).
“how”意为“多么”，修饰形容词或副词(被强调部分)。如果修饰形容词，则句中的谓语动词用系动词;如果修饰副词，则句中的谓语动词用行为动词，例如：
How cold it is today! 今天多冷呀!
How well May writes! 阿美写得多好呀
How hard they are working now! 他们现在干得多么起劲呀!
3.在表示同一意义时，既可用“what”引导，也可用“how”引导
What a hot day it is! How hot a day is! 多么热的天气呀!
What a beautiful sunshine it is! How beautiful the sunshine is!多么明亮的阳光呀!
4.感叹句在表示激动强烈的感情时，口语中常常省略后面的主语和谓语
What red apples! 多么红的苹果呀!
How cool!好凉快呀!
How wonderful! 精彩极了!
