Last Saturday our town held a small science fair in the school hall. Dana, who is my cousin, built a model of a wind turbine, and Ruslan showed a simple water filter. The judges walked slowly between the tables, and they asked every pupil a question. One judge asked Dana, "How does your turbine produce electricity?" Dana explained that the moving blades turn a small motor. Because the model worked well, the judges gave her a prize. What a clever idea it was! Ruslan was disappointed, but he decided to improve his filter. "Come and see our project next year," he told the visitors. Nobody left the hall until the fair was over.
What type of sentence is "What a clever idea it was!" according to its purpose?

Верный ответ
- Aexclamatory sentence
Разбор
The sentence expresses strong feeling or admiration and ends with an exclamation mark. It begins with "What a" but it is not a question, because it does not ask for information and has no question word order. It does not give a command either. So it is an exclamatory sentence.
