Let's solve the task step by step.
---
Underline the interjection in each sentence.
An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses strong feeling.
- A strong interjection is followed by an exclamation mark.
- A mild interjection is followed by a comma.
- If the interjection isn’t the first word, it’s usually set off by commas.
---
Now, let's go through each sentence and identify the interjection (the word or phrase expressing emotion), then underline it.
---
1. No, I don't have it.
→ "No" expresses refusal or denial. It's a mild interjection.
✔ No
2. Wow! Look at my grade.
→ "Wow!" shows excitement. Strong interjection with exclamation mark.
✔ Wow!
3. Aha! I've figured it out.
→ "Aha!" expresses sudden understanding. Strong interjection.
✔ Aha!
4. Whoa! This is fun.
→ "Whoa!" expresses surprise or excitement. Strong interjection.
✔ Whoa!
5. Ouch! That hurts.
→ "Ouch!" expresses pain. Strong interjection.
✔ Ouch!
6. Well, you didn't listen.
→ "Well" is a mild interjection, used to express hesitation or transition.
✔ Well
7. Say, that's great.
→ "Say" is used here as a mild interjection to get attention.
✔ Say
8. Ah, you are here at last.
→ "Ah" expresses relief or recognition. Mild interjection.
✔ Ah
9. Yes, I understand.
→ "Yes" is a response, but not really expressing strong emotion.
✘ Not an interjection.
→ But wait — "Yes" can be an interjection if it's emotional. Here it seems like a simple answer.
However, in context, it might be considered a mild interjection. But typically, "yes" is not classified as one unless it's emphatic.
Let's reconsider:
In this case, it's likely just a response, so not an interjection.
→ So no interjection here? Wait — check again.
Actually, in many grammar guides, "Yes" and "No" are sometimes used as interjections when they express emotion. But here, it's neutral.
Still, in most cases, "Yes" in sentence 9 is not considered an interjection. So we skip.
✔ No interjection? But let's see the pattern.
Wait — looking back at #1: "No, I don't have it." — "No" is underlined as interjection.
So perhaps "Yes" is also acceptable.
→ Yes, "Yes" can be an interjection when used to express agreement or realization.
In this sentence, it's likely expressing confirmation with mild emotion.
✔ Yes
10. Oh, I misunderstand.
→ "Oh" expresses realization or surprise. Mild interjection.
✔ Oh
11. Right, I apologize.
→ "Right" here means "I see" or "I agree". It's a mild interjection acknowledging something.
✔ Right
12. Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
→ "Thanks!" expresses gratitude. Strong interjection with exclamation.
✔ Thanks!

Now, underline the interjections in each sentence:
1. No, I don't have it.
2. Wow! Look at my grade.
3. Aha! I've figured it out.
4. Whoa! This is fun.
5. Ouch! That hurts.
6. Well, you didn't listen.
7. Say, that's great.
8. Ah, you are here at last.
9. Yes, I understand.
10. Oh, I misunderstand.
11. Right, I apologize.
12. Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

- Interjections are words that show emotion or reaction.
- They often stand alone or are set off by punctuation (commas or exclamation marks).
- Examples include: *Wow, Ouch, Aha, Oh, No, Yes, Thanks, Say*.
- The key is that they express feeling, not just state facts.
So, the underlined words above are all interjections.
✔ All sentences now have their interjections correctly identified and underlined.
