How lucky...

The two questions below belong to the same title I guess. That's why I'm asking under the same thread.

1) Which one is correct?
a) How lucky you are!
b) How lucky are you!

2) Is the plural form of "What a cute baby!", "What cute babies!" ?

Thanks.

  • johner 1) Which one is correct?
  • a) How lucky you are!
  • b) How lucky are you!
  • As an exclamatory expression, only the former is natural to me.
  • The latter is possible as a rhetorical question: How lucky are you ?

Apparently those sentences are called "exclamations". Happy to learn. Thank you both.
