Can you use periods and question marks with exclamatory sentence?

You can't use periods or question marks with an exclamatory sentence! Here's why:

* Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion or surprise. They are always followed by an exclamation point (!).

* Periods (.) indicate a statement or a neutral tone.

* Question marks (?) indicate a question.

Examples:

* Correct: "You won the lottery!"

* Incorrect: "You won the lottery." (This is a statement, not an exclamation)

* Incorrect: "You won the lottery?" (This is a question, not an exclamation)

Important note: You can sometimes use a question mark with an exclamation point to express strong surprise or disbelief, but this is less common. For example: "You won the lottery?!"
