PREPOSITION
There are two very important rules to remember when using prepositions. Because they are
somewhat vague.
The first rule is that certain propositions must be used to make the relationships between
words in a sentence clear. Most prepositions are interchangeable but only to a certain
extent.
The second rule for using prepositions is that these words must be followed by nouns.

INTERJECTION
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of interjections in the English language. Most
are designed to express strong emotions, such as love, hate, surprise, happiness, anger,
enthusiasm, disgust, boredom, confusion or unhappiness. However, this is not always true.
Some interjections can express either a mild emotion, or can be expressions, such as “Excuse
me.”
