Interjection is a big name for a little word. Interjections
are short exclamations like Oh!, Um or Ah!They have no real grammatical value but we use them quite
often, usually more in speaking than in writing. When interjections are
inserted into a sentence, they have no grammatical connection to the sentence.
An interjection is sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!) when written.
