Interjections
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.
Here is a list of interjections with implied meanings and example
sentences.
Interjections like er and um are also known as "hesitation devices". They
are extremely common in English. People use them when they don't know
what to say, or to indicate that they are thinking about what to say. You
should learn to recognize them when you hear them and realize that they
have no real meaning.

The 9 English Parts of Speech


These are the words that you use to make a sentence. There are 9 word
classes, and the most important is the Verb!
Verbs
Many English verbs are action words, expressing what is happening (do,
work). Some verbs are state words, expressing a situation (be, have).
Nouns
Nouns represent people (teacher, Mary), places(town, Asia) and
things (table, music).
Adjectives
An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun (big, red,
expensive).

Adverbs
An adverb tells us more about a verb, an adjective or another adverb
(loudly, very).
Determiners
Determiners are words like the, an, this that come at the beginning of a
noun phrase.
Prepositions
A preposition expresses the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another
word (at, in, on, from).
Pronouns
Pronouns are small words like you, ours, somethat can take the place of a
noun.
Conjunctions
Conjunctions join two parts of a sentence (and, but, though).
Interjections
Interjections are short exclamations with no real grammatical value (ah,
dear, er, um).
