Do exclamatory sentences have subject predicate?

Yes, exclamatory sentences still have a subject and predicate, even though they express strong emotion.

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.
