  1. Grammar Lesson 8 Interjections By: Cemil, Amandla, and Diego

  2. What is an interjection? • An interjection is a word, phrase, or nonsense word added to a sentence to convey emotion. They do this by interrupting a smooth flow of thoughts to emphasize certain feelings, such as happiness, sadness, fear, or anger. Examples of interjections include darn, rats, oh, ugh, and oops. • Ex: After Marcia told her mom she had lost her diamond necklace her mom exclaimed, “Good lord! I have had it with your feckless behavior!”

  3. Ways in which you can write interjections: • If the interjection contains a strong emotion it is followed by an exclamation point. • Ex: Shoot! I forgot that attendance to the ring ceremony was mandatory. • As you can see the speaker has placed a lot of emphasis on the word “shoot”. This is because he/she was upset when he/she remembered that he/she had to go to the ring ceremony.

  4. Ways in which you can write interjections: • If the emotion that an interjection expresses is not severe, it is followed by a comma instead of an exclamation point. • Ex: Upon hearing the first grader utter a string of curse words at his teacher, the principal said, “Dear me, it seems that your negligentparents have never taught you any manners”.

  5. Ways in which you can write interjections: • Interjections don’t always have to be at the front of sentences, they can be placed in the middle or end. • Example: “It seems he’s won the election by default, eh?”

  6. Practice • Can you identify the interjections in these following sentences? • Boy, howdy! The incumbent mayor sure has introduced a lot of new reforms in our city. • If you said boy howdy you’re 112 % correct.

  7. Practice • Dang! I can’t take that cake to the wedding; that’s to onerous, what if I crash and cake flies off. • If you said dang, you’re correct yet again. • Jeez! I knew you were not accountable enough for me to trust you with such a big task. • If you think Jeez is the interjection guess again, and if you guess Jeez again your correct.

  8. Practice • Good job, Mark! Being an assiduous, dedicated employee will eventually pay off. • If you think Good Job Mark is an interjection well I guess you’re right again. • Whew! Thank God the insurance company is liable for paying the damages my house incurred during the storm • If you said whew is the interjection of the sentence you’re correct.

  9. Practice • Holy cow! That soldier was remissin falling asleep with a loaded gun and his finger on the trigger. • If you said holy cow is the interjection in this sentence then you are correct!!! Hurray for you!!!!

  10. The End We hope that you have learnt about interjection and are going to include them in your daily speech. Examples of ones you can use are: Galloping Gators Jiminy Wilikers and Oh my.
