What is an Interjection?
An interjection is a part of speech that functions independently from a sentence and is typically used to express an emotion.
Examples of Interjections
Some examples of interjections would be the following:
Wow, this is a delicious dessert!
Aha! I finally figured out that math problem!
Darn. I can’t find my homework.
Yuck! That soup tasted horrible.
Ouch! I stepped on my brother’s toy train.
