Interjections Grade Seven
What is an Interjection? • An interjection is something that interrupts a sentence. • It is something that also expresses your emotions like happiness, fear, anger, or pain. • Some examples of interjections are: ouch, wow, uh oh, oh no, gosh, shhhh
Punctuating Interjections • If an interjection is spoken calmly, simply put a comma after it and continue the sentence. Ex. Shhh, the baby is sleeping. Ex. Oh my, I dropped my pencil.
Punctuating Interjections • If an interjection is spoken with more emotion, it is followed by an exclamation point. The next word is then capitalized. Ex. Ouch! I just cut my finger. Ex. He scored the winning touchdown. Wow!
