C O N J U N C T I O N S 107Lesson 16 Interjections
An interjection is a word or short expression that showssudden strong feeling.Oh! The toast is burning!INTERJ.
Oops! I nearly fell.Too bad! Look what happened!An interjection is considered a unit in itself and is not tied grammatically to any other
word in the sentence. Oh! in the first example is like a sentence by itself. The same is true
of Oops! and Too bad!
An interjection is usually followed by an exclamation point [!]. However, if the inter-
jection is a mild one, it is followed by a comma [,]; the comma separates it from the rest of
the sentence.
Oh, excuse me.An exclamatory sentence often follows an interjection.
