00:00What are interjections?
00:04Interjections are words used to express strong feelings or sudden emotions, such as
00:13Joy
00:14Yippee!
00:16Pain
00:17Ouch!
00:19Content
00:21Okay
00:23Love
00:30Ah!
00:36Fright
00:39Confusion
00:41Huh?
00:45Anger
00:52Surprise
00:53Wow!
00:56Relief
00:58Ah!
01:01Satisfaction
01:03Yum!
01:08Tiredness
01:10Phew!
01:16Playfulness
01:17Boo!
01:20Thoughtfulness
01:22Hmm!
01:26Disapproval
01:32Interjections may stand alone or form part of the sentence.
01:37For example,
01:39Yippee!
01:40It's finally summer!
01:42Or
01:43Yippee!
01:45It's finally summer!
01:48See the difference?
01:53Interjections often begin sentences, but they may appear in the middle or end as well.
02:02For example,
02:03Oops!
02:04I almost slipped!
02:07I love summer, but oh my gosh!
02:09It's so hot!
02:14I'm just glad our exams are over.
02:17Phew!
02:21An interjection is often set off from the rest of the sentence by an exclamation point or a comma.
02:34An exclamation indicates strong emotion.
02:39A comma indicates mild emotion.
02:44For example,
02:45Ouch!
02:47That hurts!
02:50Ouch!
02:52That hurts!
