What are the correct ways to use exclamation marks?

There are many punctuation marks in the punctuation kingdom, such as question mark, exclamation mark, pause, semicolon, colon, quotation mark, dash and so on. I believe many people have mastered the use of exclamation marks. The following is the usage of exclamation point I compiled, I hope you like it!

Usage of exclamation point

A pause at the end of a sentence expressing strong feelings.

For example, once you take root, you are not afraid of being trampled, or you will get up again and again and bloom dandelions with small flowers!

Second, exclamations are also used in imperative sentences with strong tone.

For example: Sister Xianglin, please stay!

Third, strong rhetorical questions are followed by exclamation marks.

For example, there is nothing in the world that does not contain contradictions!

4. Exclamation marks can be used for words with strong tone, non-subject-predicate sentences and exclamation marks with strong feelings.

For example: long-distance love! Airplane! Ouch! You're going the wrong way.

5. If the exclamatory sentence is inverted, the exclamation point should also be placed at the end of the sentence.

How beautiful, the spring of the motherland!

Note: 1, imperative sentence: a sentence with imperative mood indicating that the other party should or should not do something.

2. A word or noun expresses a complete meaning and forms a sentence of its own. This is called a word.

Correct usage of exclamation point

He Caitou is bald.

-State the facts without any emotion.

He Caitou is bald?

-Express doubts without emotional prejudice.

He Caitou is bald!

-State a fact strongly.

He Caitou is bald? !

-Express incredible shock.

He Caitou is bald! ! !

-shout to the crowd with a megaphone, with joy.

Exclamation marks are not only used to express emotions, but also used to give mandatory instructions from superiors to subordinates:

Caitou, come back and buy Pixian watercress.

-It's okay to forget.

Vegetable head, come back and buy Pixian watercress!

-It's important, don't forget.

Vegetable head, come back and buy Pixian watercress! ! !

-dare not buy? Kneel down, element face!

When people communicate face to face, they can observe dozens of subtle expressions on each other's faces to judge each other's emotions. However, when we communicate through SMS, QQ, WeChat and RTX, the only thing we rely on is words and punctuation. In the nuances of phrasing, I can't help but ponder each other's thoughts and feel each other's attitude. And words are always separated by a layer, even by telephone, so there are often frictions and conflicts.

Exclamation mark is a punctuation mark with strong emotional color. You can understand it this way: a little red man is screaming. It is precisely for this reason that there will be a roaring group in Douban, which uses continuous exclamation marks to express the roar and roar of the owner and the grand occasion of 10,000 grass-mud horses galloping past. A message that ends with an exclamation point will make people feel that they spit on their faces.

In normal interpersonal communication, in addition to expressing joy, admiration and shock, exclamation marks should be used as little as possible. This is not only a written etiquette, but also to minimize misunderstandings and conflicts between people. The interpersonal communication that can only be completed by growling is the artillery and his observation post.

Finally, let me review a summary I wrote many years ago:

People who like comma ending are sloppy, people who like period ending are firm, people who like exclamation point ending are naive, people who like punctuation ending are free and easy, and people who like ellipsis ending are too sexual.
