感叹句讲解

感叹句

感叹句是对人或事物的性质、程度或内容表示感叹。通常以感叹号结尾。感叹句的引导词通常有what和howo

感叹句的基本句型

句型一：What+（a/an）+形容词+名词+主语+谓语！

Whataninterestingstoryitis!（这是个）多么有趣的故事啊！

Whatfineweatheritis!多好的天气啊!

Whatbeautifulflowerstheyare!（它们是）多么漂亮的花啊!

说明：在感叹句中，Whata/an常用来修饰单数可数名词，若其前面的形容词为元音开头，则用an。what是

用来修饰复数可数名词和不可数名词（如fun,weather等）。但有些丕亘数名词如…⑶虫阳籍!孤.bcakf掘JUDSh

笠「当前面有形容词修饰「使抽象名词.县体化时2…则要用.岫登生/.2，如：

Whataheavyrainitis!多大的一场雨啊!

Whatarichbreakfastitis!多么丰盛的一顿早餐啊！

当其中的名词带有形容词的意味时，what类感叹句省略形容词。

Whatasurprise!真是意想不到！

Whatfunwecouldhave!我们玩得多开心啊

句型二：How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！

Howbeautifullyyousing!你唱得真好听！

Howclevertheboyis!这个男孩多么聪明啊!

Howfastheruns!他跑得多么快啊!
