A Guide to Grammar

This guide explores the role of interjections in grammar, highlighting their unique position as standalone expressions of emotion within a sentence. Interjections can convey strong feelings with exclamations (e.g., "Wow!") or milder ones using commas (e.g., "Phew, I almost missed the train."). The guide illustrates how words like "Yes," "No," and "Well" serve as interjections to express affirmations or hesitations. Enhance your writing by mastering the use of interjections and adding depth to your expressions!

  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.
