50 Examples of Exclamatory Adverbs

Exclamatory Adverbs

The exclamatory adverbs are relative pronouns with emphatic function, so they are always written with accent mark, and it is that accent that, precisely, helps to identify and differentiate them in their syntactic function. For example: how much, what, how.

Another way to recognize them is their position in the sentence: they always function as direct or indirect exclamatory sentence headings.

Exclamatory adverbs are closely related to interrogative adverbs, and sometimes both categories overlap, since there are exclamations that hide questions, questions that are rather exclamations or reproaches, so many grammarians consider them as a single group (exclamatory-interrogative adverbs).

Exclamative adverb or exclamatory adjective?

It is quite common for doubts to arise when having to define if one of the relative pronouns with an accent is a exclamatory adverb or a exclamatory adjective, and this happens because many times the emphasis of an exclamation is not linked to a single word, but to the entire sentence.

It should be taken into account that in both cases, the words that belong to that category are pronouns seeking to express surprise or emphasis.

The same words can function as exclamatory adjectives or as exclamatory adverbs, as the case may be. In morphological terms, let us remember that what characterizes adverbs is the invariance in terms of gender and number. For example: ¡How much I want it! / ¡How much I love them!

This also helps to differentiate the syntactic function, because if it fulfills the function of an adverb, the pronoun will be invariable, not when it fulfills the function of adjectives. For example: ¡How much people! / ¡How many people!
