Educational worksheet for practicing interjections in sentences.

Let's solve this step-by-step.

We are given a task: "Add an Interjection" — we need to fill in the blanks with interjections from the Word Bank. The interjections must make sense in context and be used only once each.

---

🔤 Word Bank:

- yes
- ugh
- huh
- gosh
- gee
- bye
- ouch
- ah
- hey
- phew
- hi
- whoops

---

Now, let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the most appropriate interjection.

---

1. ________! You're in my chair!

This is a reaction to someone sitting in your chair — likely surprise or annoyance.

Possible choices: Hey, Whoops, Gee, Huh

But "Hey!" is a common exclamation when someone intrudes unexpectedly.

✔ Answer: Hey!

> Hey! You're in my chair!

---

2. ________, my name is Robert.

This is an introduction. We’re starting a sentence, so it should be a greeting or attention-getter.

Best fit: Hi or Hello

"Hi" is in the word bank.

✔ Answer: Hi

> Hi, my name is Robert.

---

3. ________, this fish is smelly.

Reaction to something unpleasant — smell.

"Ugh" is a common interjection for disgust.

✔ Answer: Ugh

> Ugh, this fish is smelly.

---

4. ________! I almost slipped.

Reaction to a near accident — fear or relief.

"Whoops" or "Phew" would work.

"Whoops" is more about a mistake or slip.

"Phew" is for relief.

But since you *almost slipped*, “phew” fits better as a sigh of relief.

✔ Answer: Phew

> Phew! I almost slipped.

---

5. That was a nice party. ________?

This is a follow-up after a positive statement. Likely asking for agreement.

"Wasn't it?" is implied, but we need an interjection.

"Right?", "Yes?", "Huh?" — but "huh?" is often used to prompt response.

Wait — "yes" is in the word bank, but it's not an interjection on its own here.

Alternatively, "Huh?" could be used to prompt agreement.

But better: Gee or Wow — but "wow" isn’t in the list.

"Ah" can express realization or appreciation.

But "Huh?" is a bit informal — maybe not best.

Wait — perhaps: Gee, that was a nice party. But the sentence already says it.

Actually, the structure is:
"That was a nice party. ________?"

So we need a tag question or a response.

But the blank is at the end, so likely: Yes? or Huh? or Gee?

But "Yes?" doesn't make sense unless it's questioning.

"Ah?" — not really.

Wait — "Huh?" is used to show surprise or ask for clarification.

But in this context, if someone said “That was a nice party,” and then says “Huh?” — it sounds odd.

Better: Gee, that was a nice party. But again, the first part is already stated.

Perhaps: Gee? — no.

Another idea: Hey? — but not fitting.

Wait — maybe Yeah? — but "yeah" isn’t in the bank.

Only options: yes, huh, gosh, gee, etc.

Wait — Gosh can be used in exclamations like “Gosh, that was fun!” — but here it's after the sentence.

“Gosh?” — could be used to express surprise or agreement.

But not strong.

Wait — perhaps: Huh? — meaning “really?” or “is that so?”

But not matching tone.

Alternative: Yes? — but “yes” is not typically used as an interjection at the end of a sentence like that.

Wait — maybe it’s Gee? — still awkward.

Wait — think differently.

Could it be: Huh? — as in, “You think so?” — but the sentence is positive.

Hmm.

Wait — what if it’s Gosh! — but it's followed by a question mark.

The sentence is:

“That was a nice party. ________?”

So the second sentence is a question.

What interjection can be used to form a question?

Possibilities:

- Huh? — “Huh?” = “Really?”
- Yes? — “Yes?” = “Is that so?” — but “yes” is not usually used that way.

Wait — actually, “Yes?” is a valid interjection used to respond to a statement with surprise or inquiry.

For example: “It’s raining.” “Yes?” — meaning “Really?”

So “Yes?” makes sense.

And “yes” is in the word bank.

✔ Answer: Yes?

> That was a nice party. Yes?

(= “Really?”)

Yes, that works.

6. ________! I want to go with you.

This is a desire to join — excited or enthusiastic.

Interjections: Gee, Gosh, Hey, Oh, but “oh” isn’t in the bank.

“Gee!” is a common expression of excitement.

“Gosh!” also works.

But “Gee!” feels more natural.

Or “Hey!” — but “Hey!” is more attention-grabbing.

But “I want to go with you” suggests eagerness.

“Gee!” or “Gosh!”

Let’s check usage:

- “Gee! I want to go with you.” → okay
- “Gosh! I want to go with you.” → also okay

But “Gee” is slightly more common in this context.

Also, “Gosh” is often used for surprise.

“Gee” is more general enthusiasm.

But both are possible.

Wait — look at other options.

“Ah!” — not fitting.

“Huh?” — no.

“Bye” — no.

“Ouch” — no.

So between Gee and Gosh.

But let’s see if we’ve used either yet.

We haven’t used Gee or Gosh yet.

But earlier in #5, we used Yes? — so “yes” is used.

Now, “Gee” might be better.

Wait — another possibility: Hey! — “Hey! I want to go with you.” — very natural.

Yes, “Hey!” is a common way to start a request or exclamation.

So:

✔ Answer: Hey

> Hey! I want to go with you.

Yes, that sounds natural.

But wait — is “Hey” being used correctly? It’s an interjection, and it starts the sentence.

Yes, like in the example: “Yahoo! I made an A.”

So “Hey! I want to go with you.” — perfect.

But we already used “Hey” in #1.

Wait — did we?

#1: Hey! You're in my chair!

Yes — we used Hey in #1.

So we can’t use it again.

Each interjection only once.

So we cannot use “Hey” again.

So for #6, we need a different one.

Options left: Gee, Gosh, Huh, Ah, Ouch, Bye, Hi, Whoops, Phew, Ugh, Yes

Used so far:
- #1: Hey
- #2: Hi
- #3: Ugh
- #4: Phew
- #5: Yes?

So used: Hey, Hi, Ugh, Phew, Yes

Available: Gee, Gosh, Huh, Ah, Ouch, Bye, Whoops

Now back to #6: ________! I want to go with you.

Need an excited interjection.

Gee! or Gosh! — both good.

“Gee!” is more casual and enthusiastic.

“Gosh!” is more surprised.

But “I want to go with you” is enthusiastic.

So Gee! fits well.

✔ Answer: Gee

> Gee! I want to go with you.

Yes.

---

7. ________! See you later.

Farewell expression.

Common interjections: Bye, See ya, Goodbye

"Bye" is in the word bank.

So:

✔ Answer: Bye

> Bye! See you later.

Perfect.

---

8. Snakes are slithery. ________!

This is a reaction to a fact — possibly surprise, fear, or disgust.

“Snakes are slithery” — not inherently bad, but people often react negatively.

So possible: Yuck!, but not in bank.

“Ugh” — we already used it in #3.

“Gosh” — could be used.

“Ah” — not fitting.

“Ouch” — no.

“Huh” — “Huh? Snakes are slithery.” — doesn’t make sense.

Wait — maybe Gosh! — “Gosh! Snakes are slithery.” — expressing surprise.

Or Whoops! — but doesn’t fit.

Wait — “Gosh” is available (not used yet).

We used: Hey, Hi, Ugh, Phew, Yes, Gee, Bye

So Gosh is unused.

So:

✔ Answer: Gosh

> Snakes are slithery. Gosh!

Yes — expresses mild surprise or wonder.

Alternatively, Ah! — “Ah! Snakes are slithery.” — like realization.

But “Ah” is less common.

“Gosh” is better.

2. Hi, my name is Robert.
3. Ugh, this fish is smelly.
4. Phew! I almost slipped.
5. That was a nice party. Yes?

✔ Check: All interjections used only once?

Used:
- Hey – #1 ✔
- Hi – #2 ✔
- Ugh – #3 ✔
- Phew – #4 ✔
- Yes – #5 ✔
- Gee – #6 ✔
- Bye – #7 ✔
- Gosh – #8 ✔

Unused: huh, ah, ouch, whoops

But we have 8 sentences, so all used — perfect.

Wait — word bank has 12 words, but only 8 blanks.

So 4 will remain unused.

That’s fine.

---

✔ Final Answer:

1. Hey
2. Hi
3. Ugh
4. Phew
5. Yes
6. Gee
7. Bye
8. Gosh
