  1. Mechanics Lesson #23 CCSS.ELA–LITERACY.L. 2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Commas with Interjections

  2. An interjection is a word or phrase used in informal writing that provides an unnecessary, but interesting interruption. Usually found at the beginning of a sentence, these interjections can also be used in both the middle and end of a sentence. The most common introductory interjections are Yes and No. Some interjections express sounds such as Ah! or Phew!

  3. A comma follows an interjection that begins a sentence; a comma is placed before and after the interjection when used in the middle of a sentence; a comma is placed before the interjection that ends the sentence. Examples: Yes, I like you. If not, well, would I stay? No, I wouldn’t, indeed. If an interjection at the beginning of a sentence shows surprise or strong emotion, use an exclamation point, not a comma. Example: Wow! Did she really say that?

  4. Practice No, I don’t want it. I never did actually. If you want it, well, go ahead and take it.

  5. Practice No, I don’t want it. I never did actually. If you want it, well, go ahead and take it. Practice Answers No, I don’t want it. I never did,actually. If you want it, well, go ahead and take it.

  6. Writing Application Write your own sentence using an interjection within the middle of the sentence.
