Mini Lesson: Interjections
Interjections • Interjections are words used to express feelings or emotions. • Interjections are set off from the rest of the sentence. • Often found in dialogue. • They are the least used part of speech (but the most fun).
Common Interjections • ah • yahoo • aha • ow • oh • whoa • alas • hey • well • yeah • aw • ouch • whew • hooray • oops • wow
Interjections • Interjections function independently from the rest of the sentence… • Example: Huh? What does that mean? • It is therefore set off from the rest of the sentence by a question mark, comma, or exclamation mark. Hey! I can ride my bike. Hey, I can ride my bike. Exclamation mark = strong emotion Comma = not as strong of an emotion
Let’s Practice…Find the interjection: • Wow! Did you see that play? • Ouch! That hurts! • I, uh, think we should leave now. • Woah! How did he catch that? • Yes, that certainly is a huge cat.
Turn and Talk… • Supply an appropriate interjection for each sentence: • (pain) That looked like it hurt. • (anger) That’s my bike! • (surprise) You scared me!
Turn and Talk (on the other side): • Use each of the following interjections in a sentence… • No! • Hey, • Huh? • Oops! • Uh,
While you are reading your pcr book… FIND INTERJECTIONS! Write the sentence that contains an interjection in your literary notebook. Underline the interjection. What emotion does it evoke?
