三 What、How的判断方法
What修饰名词，how修饰形容词，但当名词前还有形容词时就容易判断错。
如（  ）beautiful flowers！
我们知道，感叹句也是句子，只不过把强调部分放在句首。因此它也应该有主语和位于，有时候主语和谓语被省略了，我们可以把主语和谓语补上。
What a lovely day!
What a lovely day it is!
What beautiful flowers!
What beautiful flowers they are!
What important news it is!
How fast!
How fast it goes!
How beautiful the flowers are!
How fast the boat is!
仔细观察后你就会发现，在感叹句的主语钱若还有名词存在时，用what来引导；
在感叹句的主语前若无名词时，则用How来引导。
但在“How+形容词+a/an+名词单数+主谓！”中不可用what，因为此句中强调了形容词。
How naughty a boy your brother is!

四 练习
What wonderful ideas we have!
What cold weather it is!
How cold the weather is!

陈述句变为感叹句的方法
把一个陈述句变为感叹句时，常使用“一分二加三换位四去掉”的方法。
第一步：“一分”，即在谓语动词后面画一双竖线，使句子分为两部分。如：
He is a very honest boy.他是一个诚实的孩子。
Li Lei works very hard.李雷学习很刻苦。
第二步：“二加”，即如果第二部分的中心词是名词，就加上what；
如果是形容词或副词，就加上how。
如：He is (what) a very honest boy.
Li Lei works (how) very hard.
第三步：“三换位”，即把第一部分与第二部分互换位置，句号换位感叹号
如：
What a very honest boy he is!
How very hard Li Lei works!
第四步：“四去掉”即原陈述句含有very,too等程度副词时，在变成感叹句时要去掉。
以上两个句子就应该变为以下形式：
What an honest boy he is!
How hard Li Lei works!
将下列句子改为感叹句，注意what，how的使用及词序：
1.The classroom is clean.
2.The elephant is very heavy.
3.She is a happy girl.
将下列句子改为感叹句:
1.It is quite a nice present!
What a nice present!
2.We have fine weather today.
What fien weather we have today!
3.It's sunny today.
What a sunny day it is today!
