Quarter 2, Week 7 – Interjections

 

Our lesson was about Interjections. An interjection is a component of speech used by the speaker to communicate a strong feeling or quick emotion (such as surprise, delight, excitement, disgust, enthusiasm, grief, approbation, calling, attention, and so on) to the reader. In most cases, interjection words are used at the start of a statement. It can also be used as a single word or a non-sentence phrase followed by a punctuation mark. There are 6 types of Interjections. First is Interjections for Greeting, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to indicate the emotion of warmth to the person meeting with such as hey, hello, hi, etc. Second is Interjections for Joy, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to indicate immediate joy and happiness on any happy occasion that occurred such as hurrah, wow, hurray, etc. Third is Interjections for Approval, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to express the strong sense of approval or agreement for something that has happened such as well done, bravo, brilliant, etc. Fourth is Interjections for Attention, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to draw the attention of someone such as look, behold, listen, hush, etc. Fifth is Interjections for Surprise, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to express the strong sense of surprise about something that has happened such as ha, what, hey, ah, oh, eh, etc. And lastly is Interjections for Sorrow, This type of interjection is used in the sentence to express the emotion of sadness about something

unfortunate that has happened such as alas, ouch, ah, oh, etc.
