about exclamatory sentences

0Hello~02br
02br
00I have a quesiton about changing sentences into the exclamatory sentences.02br
02br
00For example, 02br
02br
00"01font00The mountain is very high02font00." 02br
02br
00When we transform the example sentence into the exclamation using '01font00how02font00', the answer is "01font00How high the mountain is02font00!"02br
02br
00what I wonder is this: "01font00How very high the mountain is02font00!" Is that sentence also correct?02br
02br
00The sentence is not familiar to me because of "very". In my thought, 'how' functions like 'very' in meaning so that we do not need 'very'. It sounds redundant.02br
02br
00Would you please explain it?02br
02br
00Thank you in advance.0-

02br 00You don't need 01i 00very02i 00, but it works as an intensifier in the sentence-- it increases the magnitude of the exclamation. 0-
