    Interjections are words or expressions used to convey strong feelings such as surprise, pain, or horror. They are often placed at the beginning of sentences. Interjections are divided into emotional interjections expressing emotions like joy or fright, and incentive interjections motivating actions like "stop" or "hello." Different punctuation is used depending on the strength of emotion, with exclamation points for strong emotions and periods or commas for weaker emotions. While interjections may seem trivial, they are important for expressing emotions in writing where emoticons may not be suitable.

    INTERJECTION

    In Grammar, an interjection is a word or expression which you use to express a


    strong feeling such as surprise, pain, on horror.
    They are usually (but not always) placed at the beginning of a sentence. The
    importance of interjections lies in the fact that they can convey feelings that may
    sometimes be neglected in the sentence.

    Clasification
    Interjection are divided into two groups

    1) Emotional, used to express feeling (emotions), for example, joy surprise,


    fright, indignation, but without their name: ¡ah!, ¡eh!, bis!, Bravo!, cheers! -
    Cheers!, ¡our won!, ¡Encore!, Bravo!

    2) Incentives used to express the desire of the speaker, motivating someone to


    act, for example: ¡shh!, ¡Hello!!, ¡Chick!, ¡stop!, ¡chick-chick!, ¡Hello! Who is at
    the phone?, ¡Shh, silent!, ¡Stop, you can not go any further!

    Since interjections convey different kinds of emotions, there are also different
    ways to punctuate them.

    Exclamation point
    The exclamation point is the most commonly used punctuation mark for
    interjections. Obviously, it is used to communicate strong emotions such as
    surprise, excitement, or anger.

    Examples:
    I just replaced your sugar with salt!. Bazinga!
    Hooray! I got the job!
    Hey! Stop messing with me!
    Ouch! That must’ve hurt really bad!
    Oh! They’re here!
    Boo-yah! This is the bomb!
    Are you still going to eat that? Yuck!
    Yahoo! I got my Christmas bonus!
    Eek! There’s a flying cockroach!

    Period or comma
    For weaker emotions, a period or a comma will suffice.

    Examples:
    What’s the answer to number 24?
    Meh, who cares?
    Ah, that feels great!
    Oh well, what’s done is done.
    Well, what did your mom say?
    Um… I don’t think so.
    Hmm, your house always smells like freshly brewed coffee.
    Question mark
    If you intend to use interjections to express uncertainty or disbelief, it is more
    appropriate to use a question mark.

    Examples:
    Huh? What did you just say?
    What? You still haven’t submitted your project?
    Oh, really? I never thought he’s that kind of guy.

    Although interjections may seem trivial, the reality is that this part of speech is
    very important because it can sometimes be difficult to express emotions in
    written language. Emoticons may not be appropriate or possible under certain
    circumstances, so using interjections proves to be a more viable option.
