  2. Interjections

  3. Interjections Interjections add emotion to a sentence. They should be considered a completely separate entity from the rest of the sentence. Interjections do not have any connection or interaction with the other parts of speech.

  4. Interjection Rules To indicate strong emotion, use an exclamation point: Wow! I’ve never seen something so beautiful. Jeepers! He’d better watch out. For weaker emotion, separate with a comma: Phew, I almost missed the train.

  5. Yes, No, and Well: Interjections Yes, I would love to go out with you. Sure, that sounds good.  “Sure” means yes in this case. No, I don’t want to do that. Well, I guess I’ll have a hot dog if you’re out of burgers.

  6. Sounds as Interjections Hmmm, I’m not sure. Yum-yum! This dinner looks great. Aha! I caught you red-handed.
