Three points have to be kept in mind while forming an exclamatory sentence. They are:

  • فِعْلُ التَّعَجُّبِ  or the general form of exclamatory verb would be:  مَا أَفْعَلَ

  • أَفْعَلَ can be used both for male as well as for female   اِسْمٌ

  • The subject would be ‘munsub’.

How beautiful the car is!

مَا أَجْمَلَ السَّيَّارَةَ !

How good are you!

مَا أَطْيَبَكَ!

How many stars!

مَا أَكْثَرَ النُّجُومَ!

How easy the lesson is!

مَا أَسْهَلَ هٰذَا الدَّرْسَ!

 

Quranic Example:

Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺! 80:17

قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

How persistent are they in pursuit of the Fire! 2:175

فَمَا أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ

 

Besides أَفْعِلْ بِهِ types of structures are also used in exclamatory sentence. Example:

How beautiful the house is!

أَجْمِلْ بِا لْبَيْتِ!

 

Quranic Example:

with Him is (the knowledge of) the secrets of the heavens and the earth: how clearly He sees, how finely He hears (everything)! 18:26

لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِ وَأَسْمِعْ

How well they will hear and behold the Day they come up to Us! 19:38

أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا
