Alas! He is dead.
We read in Parts of speech, Interjection is an emotional word. So, at the beginning of the exclamatory sentence, there will be an emotion indicative word i.e. an interjection.
From the sentence above 'Alas!' If the word (Interjection) is omitted, it becomes Dead -Assertive sentence.
‘What’ and ‘How’ are both WH-words used in exclamatory sentences. Such as:
What is Adjective here and How is Adverb here. Assertive of the two sentences, verb, adverb instead of them. Such as:
If auxiliary verb is placed before the subject, it must be interrogative. E.g. How long it is! How long is it! (I.e., very long) Exclamatory Sentence.
How long is it? How long is it? Interrogative Sentence.
Subject ‘it’ is preceded by the auxiliary verb ‘is’. So, that's an interrogative sentence.
The WH – word (WHAT and How) sits at the beginning of both interrogative and exclamatory types of sentences. The only difference is that there is no xauxliliary verb before the subject in the Exclamatory Sentence. However, in the interrogative sentence, the auxiliary verb must precede the subject. In the exclamatory sentence ‘What’ and ‘How’ actually bring the effect of Interjection.
