Is "That is so cheap!?" an exclamative?

Question

Is the line > That is so cheap! an exclamative? I've researched exclamatives and found that these usually begin with "what" or "how". However, I know it's definitely not a declarative sentence mood as these state facts. Or is it?

Answer 1

An exclamatory sentence doesn't need to begin with "what" or "how." Any sentence that expresses excitement or emotion can be considered exclamatory. The sentence "That is so cheap!" can be an exclamation because it sounds like it is expressing surprise or distress.
