Here's why:
* Subject: The subject is the person or thing performing the action.
* Predicate: The predicate tells what the subject is doing or what is being done to the subject.
Example:
* Exclamatory Sentence: Wow, what a beautiful sunset!
* Subject: Sunset
* Predicate: is beautiful
Even though the sentence expresses excitement, it still has a subject ("sunset") and a predicate ("is beautiful").
Other Examples:
* Exclamatory Sentence: How amazing that you won the lottery!
* Subject: You
* Predicate: won the lottery
* Exclamatory Sentence: Ouch! That really hurt!
* Subject: That
* Predicate: hurt
Key Point: The emotional intensity of an exclamatory sentence doesn't change the fundamental structure of a sentence. It still needs a subject and predicate to convey a complete thought.
