Interjection

An Interjection or Exclamation is a word used to express an emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker (although most interjections have clear definitions). Filled pauses such as uh, er, um are also considered interjections. Interjections are typically placed at the beginning of a sentence. An interjection is sometimes expressed as a single word or non-sentence phrase, followed by a punctuation mark.

 

Interjections to express greeting.
Examples : Hello!
Interjections to express joy.
Examples : Hurray!
Interjections to express approval.
Example : Bravo!
Interjections to express surprise.
Example : Oh!
Interjections to express grief.
Example : Alas!

 

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!

Hello! My name is Amit.

Hurray! We won the match.

Bravo! That was a great goal.

Oh! I didn’t expect to see you here.

Alas! I failed in the examination.
