INTERJECTION

Aha! An Interjection Definition!

An interjection is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses emotion, meaning, or feeling.
These emotion words proceed punctuation marks, which are most often but not always
exclamation points. 

Appropriate Times to Use Interjections

You should only use emotion words in speech or while writing informally. 

Common Interjection Use

 You can place an interjection at the beginning of a sentence.
 However, it’s not a set rule. In fact, you can place emotion words throughout a
sentence at the beginning, middle, or end.
 Interjections can also come after any part of speech, such as a verb, adjective,
or noun.

PREPOSITION

What is a preposition?
A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a
sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a
sentence.  Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally placed directly in
front of nouns.

Rule in learning prepositions

There are two very important rules to remember when using prepositions:

1. The first rule is that to make sentences clear, specific prepositions are needed. For
example, the preposition in means one thing and the preposition on cannot substitute
for it in all cases. Some prepositions are interchangeable but not always. 
2. The second rule for using prepositions is that prepositions are generally followed by
nouns or pronouns.

Examples of prepositions:

 Ahmad prefer to read in the library.

 He climbed up the ladder to get onto the roof.
 Please sign your name on the dotted line after you read the contract.
 Go down the stairs and through the door.
 He swam across the pool.
 Take your brother with you.
