The word “interjection” comes from a Latin word meaning “to throw between”.
A
n interjection is a word that’s “thrown” into a sentence
to express an emotion, such as joy, fear, or sorrow.
It is used as a “filler”, meaning that if it is taken out of a sentence, the sentence does not lose its meaning.Slide3
Interjections are set apart from the rest of a sentence by:! an exclamation point (if showing
strong
emotion)
, a comma (if the emotion is
not that strong
)Slide4
Wow! The fireworks are great.“Wow!” is an interjection. It expresses emotion about the fireworks
.Slide5
Cool, that’s a nice scooter!“Cool”
is an interjection. It
expresses emotion about the scooter
. The emotion is not very strong, so it’s only separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.Slide6
