NOTES 1
Hi! That’s an interjection
Interjection is a big name for a little word. Interjections are short exclamations like Oh!, Um or Ah! They have no real grammatical value but we use them quite often, usually more in speaking than in writing.
When interjections are inserted into a sentence, they have no grammatical connection to the sentence.
An interjection is sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!) when written.
Here is a list of interjections with implied meanings and example sentences.
What is an Interjection?
An interjection is one of the 9 parts of speech.
Interjection often stands alone, unconnected to a sentence.
Typical interjections are:
- Ah! Er. Hey. Ouch! Umm.
- My God! Bloody hell!
And here are some interjections in context:
- Hey! Don’t be so lazy!
- Well, let’s think about it.
- Ouch! That hurts!
- Lima is the capital of…er…Peru.
Interjections are not normally used in formal writing, but they are common in speech (and therefore informal and fiction writing), where they show emotions such as anger, surprise and interest as well as convey hesitation.
NOTES 2
Hey!
Have you heard of interjections? An interjection is a part of speech that
demonstrates the emotion or feeling of the author or gets the audience’s
attention (such as “Hey!”). These words or phrases can stand alone,
or they can appear before or after a sentence. When you want to make a strong
point, you can place an exclamation point after your interjection. Neat!
