Interjections are short exclamations used to demonstrate emotion that have no grammatical value. When used in sentences, they have no grammatical connection. An interjection is sometimes followed by an exclamation point when written. Examples of common interjections include "Ah", "Dear", "Hey", "Hmm", "Uh-huh", "Duh", "Ouch", and "Hello" which are used to express meanings like resignation, pity, calling attention, hesitation, agreement, obviousness, pain, and surprise.

Interjections
Interjections are short
exclamations use to
demostrate some kind of
emotion, they have no real
grammatical value but we use
them quite often, usually
more in speaking than in
writing.
When interjections are inserted into
they have no grammatical
a sentence,
connection to the sentence.
An interjection is sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!)
when written.
