Exclamatory Sentence – Assertive Sentence

What is an Exclamatory Sentence?

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotions or feelings, such as surprise, happiness, anger, or excitement. It often ends with an exclamation mark (!).

• Example in English: What a beautiful day it is!
• Example in Marathi: किती सुंदर दिवस आहे!

What is an Assertive Sentence?

An assertive sentence is a simple statement that provides information, expresses an opinion, or describes something. It ends with a period (.) and does not express strong emotions.

• Example in English: It is a beautiful day.
• Example in Marathi: हा एक सुंदर दिवस आहे.

Steps to Change Exclamatory to Assertive

In English:

1. Identify the feeling or emotion in the exclamatory sentence. (भाव ओळखणे)
2. Rephrase the sentence to a plain statement, keeping the same meaning. (वाक्याला सोप्या स्वरूपात बदला, ज्यामुळे वाक्य साधे विधान होईल.)
3. Replace words like ‘What’, ‘How’ with suitable verbs or phrases. (‘किती’, ‘काय’, ‘वा’ अशा शब्दांना सामान्य स्वरूपात बदला.)
4. Remove the exclamation mark and use a period. (उद्गारचिन्ह (!) काढा आणि पूर्णविराम (.) द्या. उदाहरणे:) Examples:
   • Exclamatory: How amazing this looks! (किती छान वाटतेय!)
     Assertive: This looks very amazing. (हे खूप छान वाटतेय.)
   • Exclamatory: What a wonderful place this is! (काय कमाल जागा आहे!)
     Assertive: This is a very wonderful place. (ही एक खूपच कमाल जागा आहे.)

Key Points to Remember

• Emotion becomes a fact: An exclamatory sentence highlights feelings, but an assertive sentence simply states the fact.
• No exclamation: Assertive sentences are neutral and end with a period.
• Meaning stays the same: Ensure the main idea or meaning of the sentence remains unchanged.
