Interjections can either be followed by a comma or an exclamation

point depending on the strength of the emotion that the writer would
like to convey. Today, it is not uncommon to find writers that use
multiple exclamation points, possibly expecting more energy to be read
into their words with each additional exclamation point. However, in
writing, only one exclamation point is necessary to convey the emotion.

Here are some examples of sentences with interjections:

 Ouch! I was just stung by a bee. (Ouch is the interjection.)

 Hey, bring that back here. (Hey is the interjection.)

 What do you mean that you can’t visit, huh? (Huh is the
interjection.)

 I’m just a kid, gee whiz, not a professional athlete. (Gee whiz is
the interjection.)

Directions for the interjection worksheet: In the following sentences,


identify the interjection and underline it.

1. Hi, I'm glad that you could make it to my party.


2. Wow! You look great tonight.
3. That was the best performance that I have ever seen, bravo!
4. I can’t believe you broke my favourite toy, bah.
5. Hmm, I wonder where I put my keys and wallet.
6. Miners used to shout, eureka, when they struck gold.
7. “Shoo!” shouted the woman when she saw the cat licking milk
from her cereal bowl.
8. I guess that’s the end of the movie, darn.
9. Stop! You should always wear a helmet when riding a bike.
10. Yippee, I made this picture all by myself.
11.
