EXCLAMATION MARK/SIGN

 EXCLAMATION SIGN (!)

The exclamation mark (!) is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or to show emphasis.

An interjection is a part of speech that shows a sharp sudden feeling.

Eg. "Help!" Shouted the drowning boy.

1. Quick Bring me a cup of water.
