Match the Interjections with Appropriate Sentences Worksheet 1.pdf - Free Printable

Let's solve the task: "Match the Interjections with Appropriate Sentences."

We are given a list of interjections on the left and a list of sentences on the right. Our goal is to match each interjection with the sentence that best fits its meaning or emotional tone.

---

Step 1: Understand what an interjection is

An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses sudden emotion or reaction (e.g., surprise, joy, pain, frustration). They are often followed by an exclamation mark.

---

Step 2: List the interjections and sentences

Interjections (Left Column):
1. Pew!
2. Hooray!
3. Whuff!
4. Hello!
5. Whoa!
6. Ouch!
7. Oops!
8. Yay!

Sentences (Right Column):
- I saw Bubbles.
- My hand is hurting.
- Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!
- The kettle is so cute.
- We found the treasure.
- You crushed the can.
- The pillow is so big.
- I spilled the coffee.

---

Step 3: Match each interjection to the most appropriate sentence

Let’s go one by one:

1. Pew!
→ This is a sound of mild disgust or a smell. But here, it's likely used humorously to express something strange or surprising.
- "The kettle is so cute." – doesn't fit.
- "You crushed the can." – might be associated with a sound, but not "pew".
- Wait — actually, “pew” is sometimes used as a sound for smell, like “pew! That stinks!”
But none of the sentences mention smell. However, “I saw Bubbles” could be paired with “pew!” if it's a playful expression — maybe Bubbles is a pet or a character?
Alternatively, perhaps “pew” is meant to be a sound of surprise or disgust.
But let’s look at other options.

Wait — perhaps “pew” is a typo or misprint? Or maybe it's meant to be “Hey!”? But no, it's written as “Pew!”

Actually, in some contexts, “pew” is used to express disgust (like “pew! That smells bad”). But none of the sentences talk about smell.

Alternatively, maybe “pew” is meant to be a sound of relief or surprise?

But looking more carefully, perhaps this is a playful or humorous use. Let’s consider:

- “I saw Bubbles.” — could be matched with “Pew!” if Bubbles is a funny or surprising sight? Unlikely.

Wait — perhaps “Pew!” is meant to be “Wow!” or “Oh!”? But we have “Whoa!” and “Yay!” already.

Let’s skip and come back.

2. Hooray!
→ Expresses joy or celebration.
- “Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!” — this sentence already contains “Hooray!”
So clearly, Hooray! matches with "Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!"

So:
> Hooray! → Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!

3. Whuff!
→ Sounds like a dog’s snort or a grunt. Often used to express effort, sigh, or disapproval.
- “You crushed the can.” — sounds like effort or exertion? Maybe.
- “The pillow is so big.” — doesn’t fit.
- “I spilled the coffee.” — might be a sigh?
But “whuff” is more like a grunt.

Wait — perhaps “whuff” is a sound of exertion or effort.

But “You crushed the can” — crushing a can takes effort, so “Whuff!” could be the sound made while doing it.

So:
> Whuff! → You crushed the can.

4. Hello!
→ Greeting.
- “I saw Bubbles.” — not a greeting.
- “The kettle is so cute.” — not a greeting.
- “I spilled the coffee.” — no.
- “My hand is hurting.” — no.
- But “I saw Bubbles” — if Bubbles is a person, you’d say “Hello!”
But “Bubbles” sounds like a pet or nickname.

Alternatively, maybe “Hello!” matches “I saw Bubbles” — like “Hello, Bubbles!”
Yes, that makes sense.

So:
> Hello! → I saw Bubbles.

5. Whoa!
→ Expresses surprise, shock, or awe.
- “The pillow is so big.” — yes, that could cause surprise.
- “We found the treasure.” — also possible.
- But “The pillow is so big.” — that’s a bit odd.
- “We found the treasure.” — that’s exciting, so “Whoa!” fits well.

But “Whoa!” is often used when something is shocking or overwhelming.

“We found the treasure” — very exciting, so “Whoa!” fits.

But wait — “The pillow is so big” — could also be surprising.

But “Whoa!” is better for excitement than just size.

Also, “We found the treasure” is a strong candidate.

But let’s check others.

6. Ouch!
→ Pain or injury.
- “My hand is hurting.” — perfect match.
So:
> Ouch! → My hand is hurting.

7. Oops!
→ Mistake or accident.
- “I spilled the coffee.” — classic “oops!” moment.
So:
> Oops! → I spilled the coffee.

8. Yay!
→ Joy, celebration.
- “We found the treasure.” — very joyful.
- But “Sadie won...” already has “Hooray!”
So “Yay!” should go with another joyful sentence.

“We found the treasure.” — this is joyful, so “Yay!” fits.

But “Hooray!” was already matched with the Sadie sentence.

So now we have:

- Hooray! → Sadie won...
- Yay! → We found the treasure.

That works.

Now back to:

- Pew! — still unmatched.
What sentence could it go with?

Options left:
- “The kettle is so cute.”
- “The pillow is so big.”

“Pew!” is a sound of disgust or surprise. But “the kettle is so cute” — that’s positive.

Wait — maybe “pew” is a misprint? Or perhaps it's meant to be “Hey!”?

But let’s think differently.

Maybe “Pew!” is used playfully to express surprise or amusement.

But “The kettle is so cute” — someone might say “Pew!” if they’re surprised by how cute it is? Unlikely.

Alternatively, “pew” could be a sound of sniffing — like “pew! It’s cute!” — but not standard.

Wait — perhaps “pew” is meant to be “Wow!” or “Oh!”?

But we have “Whoa!” and “Yay!” already.

Another idea: “Pew!” might be a dog sound — like a dog barking or grunting.

But “I saw Bubbles” — if Bubbles is a dog, then “Pew!” might be the dog’s sound.

But “Hello!” is already matched to “I saw Bubbles”.

Wait — maybe “Pew!” is the sound of a fart? In slang, “pew” means bad smell.

But no sentence mentions smell.

Unless...

Is there a sentence about smell?

No.

Wait — maybe “The kettle is so cute” — someone says “pew!” as a joke? Doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively, perhaps “Pew!” is a typo for “Hey!”?

But let’s recheck all.

Wait — look at the sentences again:

- I saw Bubbles.
- My hand is hurting.
- Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!
- The kettle is so cute.
- We found the treasure.
- You crushed the can.
- The pillow is so big.
- I spilled the coffee.

Now, let’s try to assign all:

We have:

- Ouch! → My hand is hurting. ✔
- Oops! → I spilled the coffee. ✔
- Hooray! → Sadie won the math contest! Hooray! ✔
- Yay! → We found the treasure. ✔
- Hello! → I saw Bubbles. ✔
- Whuff! → You crushed the can. ✔
- Whoa! → ?
- Pew! → ?

Remaining sentences:
- The kettle is so cute.
- The pillow is so big.

And remaining interjections:
- Whoa!
- Pew!

Now, “Whoa!” — surprise or awe.

“The pillow is so big” — could be surprising.

“The kettle is so cute” — could be cute, but not necessarily surprising.

But “Whoa!” is more likely for size than cuteness.

So:
> Whoa! → The pillow is so big.

Then:
> Pew! → The kettle is so cute.

But why “pew” for “cute”? That doesn’t make sense.

Unless “pew” is a playful exclamation — like “pew! How cute!” — but that’s unusual.

Alternatively, maybe “pew” is meant to be “Wow!” — but we don’t have that.

Wait — perhaps “pew” is a sound of admiration? Like “pew! Look at that!” — but rare.

Another possibility: “pew” might be a mistake for “hey” or “wow”.

But let’s reconsider “Whuff!”.

Earlier we said “Whuff!” → “You crushed the can.”

But “Whuff!” is a grunt, like effort.

“You crushed the can” — yes, that requires effort.

So that seems good.

But what about “The kettle is so cute”? Could someone say “pew!” to express admiration? Not really.

Wait — perhaps “pew” is meant to be “Ah!” or “Oh!”?

But no.

Wait — look at the image again.

In the original image, the interjections are:

1. Pew!
2. Hooray!
3. Whuff!
4. Hello!
5. Whoa!
6. Ouch!
7. Oops!
8. Yay!

And sentences:

- I saw Bubbles.
- My hand is hurting.
- Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!
- The kettle is so cute.
- We found the treasure.
- You crushed the can.
- The pillow is so big.
- I spilled the coffee.

Now, let’s try to match logically:

- Pew! — possibly a sound of surprise or amusement.
“The kettle is so cute” — could be matched with “Pew!” as a playful exclamation?
But unlikely.

Wait — maybe “Pew!” is not an interjection, but a typo?

Alternatively, perhaps “Pew!” is meant to be “Hey!” or “Ew!”?

But it's written as “Pew!”.

Another idea: In some dialects, “pew” is used for sneezing or sniffing, but not relevant.

Wait — perhaps “Pew!” is a sound of disgust — like “pew! That’s ugly!” — but the kettle is described as “so cute”, which is positive.

So contradiction.

Unless “The kettle is so cute” is sarcastic? But no indication.

Perhaps “Pew!” goes with “I saw Bubbles” — if Bubbles is a smelly creature?

But “I saw Bubbles” is neutral.

Wait — maybe “Pew!” is a dog’s sound, and “Bubbles” is a dog?

Then “Pew!” could be the dog’s sound.

But “Hello!” is already matched to “I saw Bubbles”.

So perhaps:

- Hello! → I saw Bubbles.
- Pew! → ???

But “Pew!” could be the sound Bubbles makes.

But the instruction is to match interjection with sentence.

So if “I saw Bubbles” is the sentence, and “Pew!” is the interjection, it would mean “Pew! I saw Bubbles.” — but that doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively, maybe “Pew!” is the sound Bubbles makes, so it matches with “I saw Bubbles”.

But “Hello!” is also a greeting.

This is confusing.

Wait — perhaps the matching is based on what the interjection expresses.

Let’s try a different approach.

Let’s list all pairs that make sense:

1. Ouch! → My hand is hurting. ✔
2. Oops! → I spilled the coffee. ✔
3. Hooray! → Sadie won the math contest! Hooray! ✔
4. Yay! → We found the treasure. ✔
5. Hello! → I saw Bubbles. ✔
6. Whuff! → You crushed the can. ✔
7. Whoa! → The pillow is so big. ✔
8. Pew! → The kettle is so cute. ✘ (doesn’t fit)

But that leaves only one sentence unassigned: “The kettle is so cute.”

So must be matched to “Pew!” — even if it’s odd.

But perhaps “pew” is meant to be “Wow!” or “Oh!” — but it’s written as “pew”.

Wait — maybe “pew” is a sound of appreciation — like “pew! How cute!” — but it’s not standard.

Alternatively, perhaps “pew” is a misprint for “hey” or “oh”.

But let’s consider: in some contexts, “pew” is used to express surprise.

For example, “Pew! That’s amazing!” — but not common.

But “The kettle is so cute” — could be a reason for surprise.

So maybe:
> Pew! → The kettle is so cute.

Even if awkward, it’s the only option left.

Alternatively, maybe “Pew!” is meant to be “Hey!” — but it’s listed as “Pew!”.

Another possibility: “Pew!” is a sound of effort, like “pew!” when pushing something.

But “crushed the can” already has “Whuff!”.

Wait — “Whuff!” is better for effort.

“Pew!” is not typically for effort.

Perhaps “Pew!” is a sound of disappointment?

But no sentence shows that.

Wait — “The kettle is so cute” — someone might say “pew!” in a mocking way? Unlikely.

After careful analysis, the only logical match is:

> Pew! → The kettle is so cute.

Even though it's not ideal, it's the only sentence left.

But let’s double-check:

- “The kettle is so cute.” — could be paired with “Pew!” as a playful exclamation — like “Pew! Look at that cute kettle!” — possible in children’s language.

Similarly, “Whoa!” → “The pillow is so big.” — makes sense.

So final matching:

| Interjection | Sentence |
|--------------|----------|
| 1. Pew! | The kettle is so cute. |
| 2. Hooray! | Sadie won the math contest! Hooray! |
| 3. Whuff! | You crushed the can. |
| 4. Hello! | I saw Bubbles. |
| 5. Whoa! | The pillow is so big. |
| 6. Ouch! | My hand is hurting. |
| 7. Oops! | I spilled the coffee. |
| 8. Yay! | We found the treasure. |

Final Answer:

1. Pew! → The kettle is so cute.
2. Hooray! → Sadie won the math contest! Hooray!
3. Whuff! → You crushed the can.
4. Hello! → I saw Bubbles.
5. Whoa! → The pillow is so big.
6. Ouch! → My hand is hurting.
7. Oops! → I spilled the coffee.
8. Yay! → We found the treasure.

---

Explanation:

- Pew! is matched with “The kettle is so cute” — though unusual, it may be intended as a playful or exaggerated exclamation of surprise or delight.
- Hooray! and Yay! both express joy, but “Hooray!” is already in the sentence, so it matches itself.
- Whuff! suggests effort, so it matches “You crushed the can.”
- Hello! is a greeting, so it matches “I saw Bubbles.”
- Whoa! expresses surprise, so it matches “The pillow is so big.”
- Ouch! indicates pain, so it matches “My hand is hurting.”
- Oops! indicates a mistake, so it matches “I spilled the coffee.”
- Yay! expresses excitement, so it matches “We found the treasure.”

This completes the matching.
