Transcript Interjections, Conjunctions, & Sentence Combining

*
*Interjections are words used to
express strong feeling or
sudden emotion.
*They are included in a
sentence - usually at the start to express a sentiment such as
surprise, disgust, joy,
excitement or enthusiasm.
*
*Examples:
Hey! Get off that floor!
Oh, that is a surprise.
Good! Now we can move on.
Jeepers, that was close.
*
*Introductory expressions
such as yes, no, indeed
and well are also classed
as interjections.
*
Indeed, this is not the first time the stand has
collapsed.
Yes, I do intend to cover the bet.
I'm sure I don't know half the people who come to
my house. Indeed, for all I hear, I shouldn't like to.
(Oscar Wilde)
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some
quality time with the kids. (Homer Simpson)
*
*Some interjections are sounds:
Examples:
Phew! I am not trying that again.
Humph! I knew that last week.
Mmmm, my compliments to the chef.
Ah! Don't say you agree with me. When people agree
with me, I always feel that I must be wrong. (Oscar
Wilde)
