INTERJECTIONS

  a sentence.

What is an INTERJECTION?

• Hi! That's an interjection.
• Interjection is a big name for a little word.
  Interjections are short exclamations like Oh!, Um
  or Ah! They have no real grammatical value but we
  use them quite often, usually more in speaking
  than in writing. When interjections are inserted
  into a sentence, they have no grammatical
  connection to the sentence. An interjection is
  sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!)
  when written.
