Preposition

Interjection

Conjunction

A preposition is a word that relates a noun or pronoun
to another word in a sentence.

A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns,


or phrases to other words within a sentence.
Prepositions are usually short words, and they are
normally placed directly in front of nouns. In some
cases, youll find prepositions in front of gerund verbs.
The first rule is that certain propositions must be used
to make the relationships between words in a sentence
clear. Most prepositions are interchangeable but only
to a certain extent.

The second rule for using prepositions is that these


words must be followed by nouns.
There are three types of prepositions.
1) Time prepositions are those such as before, after,
during, and until;

2) Place prepositions are those indicating position, such


as around, between, and against; and

3) Direction prepositions are those indicative of


direction, such as across, up, and down. Each type of
preposition is important.
I prefer to read in the library.
He climbed up the ladder to get into the attic.
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.
An interjection is used to show your feelings and emotions. These are the
phrases or words that can be used to express exclamation, surprise, command
and attention.
It has no grammatical relationships with any other word or sentence.
Interjection never plays any role of subject and object. It doesnt modify
the sentences. Interjection words are Wow! Hey! Well! Etc.

Note: Most of the time in sentences we use Interjection symbol [!] , it is also
called exclamation sign.

For Example

Well! I need a laptop to do this project.


Wow! What a beautiful panting.
Hurrah! Our team has won the series.
What! Have you lost all your money?
There are basically 6 kinds of interjections that are listed
below.

1) Express joy:- When you want to express your feelings of happiness


then you use these Interjection words like Hurrah! Ha! Ha! Wow!

For example
Ha! Today I am very happy.
Wow! It is a beautiful place to stay.

2) Express sorrow:- When you want to express your feelings of


sadness then you use these Interjection words like Ah! Ah me!
Alas!

For example
Ah! I have lost my sisters bag.
Alas! She has failed in the exam.
3) Express Surprise:-When you want to express your feelings of being
surprised then you use these Interjection words like Oh! What! Well !

For example
What! Is it true that you are leaving this school?
Oh! Really you killed a snake, I cant believe this.

4) Express Approval:- When you want to express your feelings of


approval for any task then you use these Interjection words like well
done! O.K!

For example
Well done! You performed you best.
Bravo! The trophy is yours.
5) Express Calling:-When you call someone for any reason
then you use these Interjection words like Halloo! Ho!
For example
Hello! Why are you looking here?
Hello! Mark, please come with me.

6) Express Attention:-When you order anyone to be in


attention then you use these Interjection words like Listen!
Look! Behold! Hush.

For example:
Listen! To me, you cannot do this at all.

Behold! The bride comes.


While using interjections, we must keep in mind some very simple rules. They are as
follows-
1) We just add an interjection as an extra factor of strength to a sentence, without making
any grammatical changes. This is to ensure that the latter can stand grammatically correct
on its own, even if the added interjection is removed.

2)Interjections do not always have to be at the beginning of a sentence. They can appear in
the middle, at the end, or anyplace else where the subject wants to interject a feeling and
emotion.

3)In some cases, an interjection can be followed by a comma instead of the exclamation
mark. This usually happens when the emotion to be expressed by the interjection is milder
in nature.

4)In some cases, an interjection can be followed by a question mark instead of the
exclamation mark. This happens when the interjection is added to an interrogative
sentence which presents a question or expects a response.

5)Interjections can find their way into fictional or artistic writing, most often in the form of
dialogue
The conjunction is the part of speech used as a joiner for
words, phrases, or clauses in a particular sentence. It links
these words or groups of words together, in such a way that
certain relationships among these different parts of the
sentence will be established, and the thoughts that all of
these convey will be connected.
In the English language, conjunctions come in three basic types:
the coordinating conjunctions, the subordinating conjunctions,
and the correlative conjunctions.

1) Coordinating Conjunction :-Among the three types of conjunctions, this is


probably words, phrases, and clauses together, which are usually
grammatically equal. Aside from that, this type of conjunctions is placed in
between the words or groups of words that it links together, and not at the
beginning or at the end.

Examples:
1. Pizza and burgers are my favourite snacks.

2.The treasure was hidden in the cave or in the underground lagoon.

2) Subordinating Conjunction :-This type of conjunctions


is used in linking two clauses together. Aside from the fact
that they introduce a dependent clause, subordinating
conjunctions also describe the relationship between the
dependent clause and the independent clause in the
sentence.

For example:
As Mohan got less marks in the Physics, he got his overall
percentage down.
He started writing as soon as he got the exam paper.
I started sneezing whenever I opens the window of my home.
3. Correlative Conjunction :-The correlative
conjunctions are simply pairs of conjunctions
which are used to join equal sentence elements
together.

For Example:
She is both rich and
Either I will go to school or stay home and read.
I am neither rich nor
He is not only poor, but also
Rule :-1)
Not only ..but also , Either ..or , Neither ..nor these are co-relative
conjunctions or termed as co-relatives . Its special features is to join two
subjects or two objects or two verbs.
Examples a) Not only Deepak but also Moti can do it
[ Deepak & Moti both are Subject ] b) I like not only Deepak but also Moti
[ Deepak & Moti both are Object ] c) He will not only go but also stay there
[ Go & Stay both are Verbs ]

Rule :2
