Interjections An interjection expresses an emotion. It might show excitement or surprise.
Wow! That is a giant pumpkin! Ouch, you stepped on my toe! Yippee! We won! Whoa! Hold your horses! Bravo, you did a great job! An interjection often appears at the beginning of a sentence. It is usually followed by an exclamation point or a comma. See also: Interjections: Zap! Pow! Wow!.
