Interjection
Interjections
are words expressing emotions, such as surprise, anger, disappointment,
annoyance, regret, doubt, joy, etc. Most interjections are just sounds, rather
than actual words, and come at the beginning or at the end of what we say.
Interjections may consist of one or several words. Examples of interjections:
oh; well; ouch; alas; hey; hurrah; my goodness, oh my, oh dear; damn, damn it.
Ouch, it stings. (expresses
pain)
You’re going to the Maldives.
That’s a long way, wow. (expresses surprise and wonder)
Hooray, here comes the bus at
last! (expresses delight)
Ugh, sorry, I can’t eat
tomatoes. (expresses disgust)
My goodness! I've lost the
key!
Well, it's time to go.
Oh, what a surprise!
