2

An interjection is an abrupt remark or exclamation that is made as an aside or interruption.

Interjections are emotions or reactions inserted into a sentence. They are common in everyday language, informal writing, and dialogue, but are not often found in formal writing.

3

Usually, interjections are punctuated with an exclamation point and are set off separately from the rest of the sentence.

  • Ex. Wow! Look what I did.

  • Ex. Hey! Stop copying my answer.

4

Interjections are to be used sparingly. If interjections are overused, they will lose their effect.
