The emotion words! 😲
An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a sudden emotion or feeling. They often stand alone and are followed by an exclamation mark (!) or a comma.
"WOW! OOPS! YAY! — interjections show how we feel!"
📝 😲 Wow! · 🎉 Yay! · 😣 Ouch! · 🤔 Hmm! — all INTERJECTIONS!
Interjections are the most expressive part of speech! They burst out of you when something happens — like when you stub your toe 😣 or win a game 🎉.
Unlike other parts of speech, interjections have no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence. They just express feeling!
💡 Two Ways to Use Interjections:
🔴 Strong feeling → Use an exclamation mark (!)
"Wow! That is amazing!"
🟡 Mild feeling → Use a comma (,)
"Well, I suppose you're right."
Every emotion has its own interjection! Here's a guide to the most common ones.
Express sudden, intense feelings. Always use an exclamation mark (!) and start a new sentence after them.
Express softer feelings or hesitation. Use a comma after them and continue the sentence.
