 An interjection or exclamation is a word used to express an emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker. They are included in a sentence - typically placed at the beginning of a sentence - to express a sentiment such as surprise, disgust, joy, excitement or enthusiasm. Sometimes expressed as a single word or non-sentence phrase, followed by a punctuation mark.

Definition

Use of Interjection
Do not serve a formal grammatical role in a sentence, other than to convey your feelings. Rarely used in academic or formal writing, but are common in fiction or artistic writing. They are usually, but not always, offset by an exclamation point (which is also used to show emotion).

Hot Tip
An interjection can be followed by either a comma or an exclamation mark. A comma is used for a mild interjection; whereas, an exclamation mark is used for a more abrupt display of surprise, emotion or deep feeling. Hey! Get off that floor! Hurry! The bus is about to leave! No, I'm not going tomorrow night.
