Task: Find the Interjection
An
interjection is a word or phrase that expresses emotion, feeling, gives a command, or fills a silence. It often stands alone or appears at the beginning or end of a sentence and is usually followed by an exclamation mark or comma.
We are asked to
circle the interjections in each sentence.
---
Example Given:
> "Yahoo! I made an A on the test!"
> → "Yahoo!" is the interjection because it expresses excitement.
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
Yikes! It’s hot outside.
-
"Yikes!" – Expresses surprise or alarm.
✔ Interjection
2.
Wow, that’s a big spider.
-
"Wow" – Expresses amazement.
✔ Interjection
3.
Aww, look at the cute kitten.
-
"Aww" – Expresses affection or sympathy.
✔ Interjection
4.
Ouch! I hurt my toe!
-
"Ouch!" – Expresses pain.
✔ Interjection
5.
I missed the bus. Oh well.
-
"Oh well" – Expresses resignation or acceptance.
✔ Interjection
6.
That’s, hmm, a good question.
-
"hmm" – Expresses thought or hesitation.
✔ Interjection
7.
Oops! She dropped the birthday cake!
-
"Oops!" – Expresses minor mistake or surprise.
✔ Interjection
8.
Whoa, you need to slow down.
-
"Whoa" – Expresses warning or surprise (often used as a command).
✔ Interjection
9.
Hello, it’s nice to meet you.
-
"Hello" – Greeting, but not expressing strong emotion or interrupting.
✘ Not an interjection
*(Note: "Hello" is a greeting, not typically classified as an interjection in this context.)*
10.
Oh, were you here first?
-
"Oh" – Expresses realization or surprise.
✔ Interjection
---
✔ Final Answer: The interjections are:
1.
Yikes!
2.
Wow
3.
Aww
4.
Ouch!
5.
Oh well
6.
hmm
7.
Oops!
8.
Whoa
9.
(No interjection) — *Hello* is not considered an interjection here
10.
Oh
---
✔ So, the correct interjections to circle are:
- Yikes!
- Wow
- Aww
- Ouch!
- Oh well
- hmm
- Oops!
- Whoa
- Oh
> Note: Sentence 9 ("Hello...") does
not contain an interjection in the traditional sense. "Hello" is a greeting, not an expression of emotion or interruption.
---
✔ Summary of Answers:
Circle the following words:
1.
Yikes!
