Interjections,with Its Types with Examples

Have a look at the Types of Interjections

What is Interjection?

“A word that shows recklessness or sudden feelings and emotions known as an interjection”

For Example:

Hurry! we won the game.
Aww! that cat is so cute.
Oops! I left the pen on the table.

 They are not connected to the rest of the sentence and commonly end with the exclamation mark (!) and with commas (,). Interjections usually can stand alone or can be placed before, after, or in the middle of a sentence and mostly marked with an exclamation! point.

Commas, Period, or Exclamation Points After Interjections:

As often as not, interjections are followed by an exclamation (!)point to show sudden emotions or feelings like Hurry!  Hey! Oops! Ewe! Oh, no! but in some cases, it requires removing excessive passion and in the place of the exclamation mark, a comma or a period is used.
