    Sometimes called a filled pause

    2
    Interjections are short
    exclamations like
    Oh!,
    Um!
    Ah!
    Hello!
    Alas!
    Hush!
    Hurrah! 3
    A part of speech that usually has no
    grammatical connection to the rest of
    the sentence and simply expresses
    emotion on the part of the speaker

    4
    They have no real grammatical
    value but we use them quite often,
    usually more in speaking than in
    writing.

    5
    An interjection is sometimes
    followed by an exclamation mark
    (!) when written.

    6
    Interjections are used when the speaker
    encounters events that cause these
    emotions — unexpectedly, painfully,
    surprisingly or in many other sudden
    ways.

    7
    Interjections are words or phrases used to
    exclaim or protest or command.

    They sometimes stand by themselves,


    but they are often contained within larger
    structures.

    8
    Wow! I won the lottery!
    Oh, I don't know about that.

    I don't know what the heck you're


    talking about.

    No, you shouldn't have done that.

    9
    Most mild interjections are treated as
    parenthetical elements and set off from
    the rest of the sentence with a comma or
    set of commas.

    10
    Examples
    ugh,
    wow,
    ouch,
    scat,
    alas
    eureka.
    11
    Well
    (can also be used as an interjection, for
    example when put at the beginning of a
    sentence)

    12
    Hello
    Goodbye
    Cheers!
    Hurray!.

    13
    Expressing feelings

    Surprise
    Oh, what a lovely present!

    Satisfaction
    Ah, that’s a much neater essay

    Great satisfaction
    Aha, those are the books I’ve been looking for

    14
    Great surprise
    Wow, did you see that goal?

    Excitement/delight
    Yippee, grandfather is coming to visit us!

    Pain
    Ouch, you’re treading on my foot!

    15
    Disgust
    Ugh, what a filthy kitchen

    Pleasure, pain
    Ooh, the water is lovely and cool

    Exhaustion
    Phew, I’m hot

    16
    Expressing pleasure

    "Ah, that feels good."
