L'imperatif - exclamation mark in French Language

Exclamation mark

The exclamation mark ends an exclamatory sentence and indicates an impression such as anger, surprise, admiration, amazement etc.

Long live the king !
Don't go there!

We often use the exclamation mark in a sentence in the imperative although this is not obligatory and a simple point is also completely correct.

Clean up your room !
Do your homework !

We add a space before and after the exclamation mark.

Note that in typography, a space is a feminine word.

When the exclamation mark is used for an interjection (like heck, bravo, ouch for example), you must not capitalize the word that follows it.

Damn ! I forgot my watch.
Well done ! you succeed.
