∙ 7y agoIf you want to put a whole exclamation in quotation marks, the exclamation point would be inside the quotation marks. For example, "He has a gun!" But there could also be something you want to put in quotation marks that is within the exclamation. For example, "Don't be such a 'Nervous Nellie' about everything we do!" In this case, it makes sense to put the phrase "Nervous Nellie" in quotation marks, and the exclamation point comes later, at the end of the exclamation.
