8.1 What Is an Interjection?
Interjections are sudden, interrupting words or phrases that
are also known as exclamations. Common interjections include
wow,well,hey,bravo, and oh.
An interjection expresses strong emotion or surprise;
it functions independently within a sentence.In the example above, we see that the interjection Wow! stands
apart from the rest of the sentence and adds an element of
surprise.
Interjections are often signaled
by an exclamation mark.Interjections can also be signaled by a comma.Example:Wow!Look at that!InterjectionInterjectionInterjectionExample:Bravo!You won the race!Example:Oh,they are late.Free
