An interjection is a part of speech used in language to express strong or sudden emotions, sentiments, or exclamations.
Interjections are typically short words or phrases that are inserted into a sentence to convey feelings like surprise, joy, pain, anger, or excitement.
They are often followed by an exclamation mark to emphasize their emotional nature. Common examples of interjections include “Wow!” “Ouch!” “Oh no!” “Bravo!” and “Alas!” Interjections serve to add emotional intensity or immediacy to a statement or conversation, helping to convey the speaker’s feelings or reactions more vividly.
