Perhaps the easiest part of speech to find is the interjection. An interjection is a word or group of words used to express strong feeling. It can be an actual word, or merely a sound and is followed by an exclamation mark (!) or a comma.Unlike all the other parts of speech, the interjection is not linked in any way to any other word in the sentence. Following are some examples of interjections:
Wow! Oh! Oh, no! Ouch! Never! | Fabulous! Fantastic! Ah! No! Yes! |
Exercise 13: Interjections
