Exclamation/What or How
Message from angrepa posted on 28-02-2014 at 01:21:41 (D | E | F)
Hello!
My doubt is this: in exercise 103415, sentence number 6, why should it be "What" and not "How"?
Thank you for any reply

Hello,
'What' is followed by (adjective) + noun. (what + object + subject + verb)
(what helpful dogs they are!)
'How' is followed by an adjective or an adverb. (how + adj/adv + subject + verb)
(how hepful dogs are!)
Therefore, 'what' is the most appropriate for this sentence: what helpful dogs they are!
Regards.
