When should a exclamation mark be used?
Hi! My daughter has an English assignment on exclamation marks, and I realized I'm not as sure about the details as I thought. Any chance you could help clarify when and how they're best used?

Hi there
Thank you for your question.
Exclamation marks are used to express strong emotions or feelings such as surprise, anger, excitement or convey a sense of urgency.
They should however be used sparingly and are typically used in informal writing as in emails, text messages, social media posts or in a story. You won’t often see these used in academic writing.
I hope this answers your question and I look forward to answering any further questions you may have.
