The Uses of An Exclamation Point (!) The exclamation point ( !) is a terminal punctuation mark in English and is usually used at the end of a sentence with no extra period. It can turn a simple indicative or declarative sentence into a strong command or reflect an emotional outburst. It can also indicate rhetorical questions.
âRing around the Rosieâ â refers to counting the Rosary while praying.
