What is an
Interjection?
An interjection is a
word added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not
grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.
You usually
follow an interjection with an exclamation mark. Interjections are uncommon in
formal academic prose, except in direct quotations.
The highlighted words
in the following sentences are interjections:
Ouch, that hurt!
Oh no, I forgot that the exam was
today.
Hey! Put that down!
I heard one guy say to another guy,
"He has a new car, eh?"
I don't know about you but, good
lord, I think taxes are too high!
