There is now nothing but the question mark which shows that the last bit is a question (spoken with question intonation). | |
| Mar 9, 2017 at 19:37 | comment | added | Kei Minagawa | OK and I have another question. If that context doesn't include "what" used as exclamation, how is the context rewritten. I want to know the basic structure of all of the context. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 21:12 | comment | added | Colin Fine | Could be, but not in this context, @KeiMinagawa. The context is "It's [...] extraordinary to think that ... "; which could be paraphrased as "To think that ... is extraordinary". | |
