Another common punctuation mark is the exclamation point. An exclamation point
is most often used at the end of a sentence. It used to indicate a strong
emotion or feeling.
Exclamation Point at the End of a Sentence
Most exclamation points are used at the end of a sentence. They are used to
indicate a strong emotion or feeling.

Exclamation Point after a Single Word
Sometimes a single word can express a strong emotion and be a complete thought.
