DEFINITION
A part of speech that can stand alone to express emotion or a reaction. Although an interjection can form a complete sentence (that is, expressing a thought without need of a subject and verb), one can often also be inserted within a sentence, usually parenthetically or separated by commas from the rest of the sentence.

In written Spanish and English, an interjection frequently is used with exclamation marks. Interjections are much more common in speech and informal writing than they are in formal writing. Many interjections, such as the English "oh" and the Spanish caray, have meanings that can vary widely depending on the context and the intonation.

Interjections are words or phrases that express emotions. You might use an interjection to express surprise (Wow!), confusion (Huh?), or outrage (No!).

USES OF INTERJECTION

Noun as an interjection: Foolishness! Your dog is not smarter than my dog! Verb as an interjection: Clap! He deserves some applause for that performance. Adverb as an interjection: Nope! You cannot go into that room until I give you permission.

What Do Interjections Look Like? Interjections can be made of one word or they can be made of entire phrases that include a subject and a verb. One word: Wow! Phrase: Im shocked!

TYPES OF INTERJECTION

Interjections could be:

1. A shout, a cry, or an exclamation loaded with strong emotional content:


Ah! Oh! Ouch! Pooh! Ugh! Eek! Yuck! Eh! 2. One or more onomatopoeic words:

Hem! Ha, ha! Wow! Meow! Buzz! Rat-ta-ta!


3. An expression that loses its grammatical meaning: Nonsense! What! Good! Too bad! Fancy! Well! Well, well, well! Indeed! 4. An emphatic phrase having elliptic meaning: Look here! What a shame! Well, I never! How nice! Oh, My!

Interjections are set off from the clause that they are interjected into, whether they appear at the beginning of the clause or somewhere in the middle. If the interjection is intended to convey delight, excitement, surprise, dismay, or some other strong emotion, it can be set off with an exclamation point:
Yes! Oh! Oops! Ouch! Yay!

Sometimes surprise can be conveyed with a question mark: Huh? What? In most cases, however, the interjection is set off with a comma--or if it occurs within a clause rather than at the beginning, it will be set off on both sides by a set of parenthetical commas, a set of parenthetical dashes, or, as in one example above, by a dash on one side, and a comma on the other. ~Well, you know I never meant you to take it that way. ~Now, let's see what we can do about this problem. ~Here, let me get that for you. ~Oh, will you grab that package on your way

THE END
