2 Does every one know what a exclamation mark looks like ?
It looks like this ! © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

3 Does any one know what to use them for?
An exclamation mark makes a sentence jump off a page and stand out. They are like strong full stops. © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

4 There are three different times when you use an exclamation mark
The first one is if the sentence is a command For example : Go away! © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

5 The second time you use an exclamation mark is if some one is shouting
For example : I’m over here! © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

6 For example : It was brilliant!
The final time you need to use an exclamation mark is when someone shows surprise or anger. For example : It was brilliant! © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

7 Where which one of these sentences would you put an exclamation mark at the end? - Sam is my best friend - I have brown hair - I hate you The sentence with an exclamation mark would be: I hate you! © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

8 The tricky part of using exclamation mark is making sure that you don’t use them too often.
Make sure that you don’t use them after every sentence, you want them to make a certain sentence stand out Also when using exclamation marks make sure you only use one after a sentence. Having any more than that is wrong © Graham Tyrer and Patrick Taylor 2013

9 Now turn to the person next to you and tell them what you have learnt today Thanks :-]
