Interjections Worksheet for 3rd - 6th Grade | Lesson Planet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence and add the right interjection from the list:
Oh, Gee, Wow, Ouch, Hey, Please, and No

We’ll pick the one that fits best based on what the sentence is saying — like surprise, pain, excitement, or asking nicely.

---

1. I’m not moving the couch!
→ This sounds stubborn or refusing. “No” fits perfectly.
✔ No, I’m not moving the couch!

2. what a wonderful time we had at the mall?
→ This is excited or amazed. “Wow” shows that feeling.
✔ Wow, what a wonderful time we had at the mall?

3. this is a gruesome scene in public places.
→ This is shocking or disgusted. “Gee” can show mild shock or disbelief.
✔ Gee, this is a gruesome scene in public places.

4. what a fabulous experience for students.
→ Again, excited or impressed. “Wow” works here too.
✔ Wow, what a fabulous experience for students.

5. You are fairly deadly distributor of...
→ Hmm, this seems incomplete, but if it’s meant to be sarcastic or surprised, “Hey” could work as an attention-getter. Or maybe “Gee” again? Let’s think… Actually, “Hey” feels more natural to start a comment like this.
✔ Hey, you are fairly deadly distributor of...

*(Note: Sentence 5 seems cut off — but we’ll go with “Hey” as the most fitting starter.)*

6. we are incredibly rude doing so well?
→ Sounds sarcastic or surprised. “Gee” fits for mild irony.
✔ Gee, we are incredibly rude doing so well?

7. I won’t take it anymore.
→ Frustrated or fed up. “No” shows refusal or finality.
✔ No, I won’t take it anymore.

8. you look great without (that hair)?
→ Complimenting someone — maybe surprised or admiring. “Wow” fits.
✔ Wow, you look great without (that hair)?

9. The police are coming.
→ Warning or alerting someone. “Hey” gets their attention.
✔ Hey, the police are coming.

10. the earth is shaking!
→ Scared or shocked. “Ouch” doesn’t fit — that’s for pain. “Wow” or “Gee”? Actually, “Oh” is better for sudden fear or surprise.
✔ Oh, the earth is shaking!

11. got out of here.
→ Urgent command or warning. “Hey” or “No”? “Hey” is more natural to grab attention.
✔ Hey, got out of here.

12. I love this class.
→ Happy or enthusiastic. “Wow” shows excitement.
✔ Wow, I love this class.

13. our dad (has thrown away).
→ Shocked or upset. “Oh” fits for disappointment or surprise.
✔ Oh, our dad (has thrown away).

14. Come help me.
→ Asking for help — polite version would use “Please”.
✔ Please, come help me.

15. I need more time.
→ Begging or asking nicely. “Please” again.
✔ Please, I need more time.

Wait — let’s double-check #5 and #11.

#5: “You are fairly deadly distributor of...” — still odd, but “Hey” is okay as a conversational starter.

#11: “got out of here.” — actually, this might be imperative — like telling someone to leave. “Hey” still works to get attention.

Also, #10: “the earth is shaking!” — “Oh” is good, but sometimes people say “Wow” for big surprises. But “Oh” feels more urgent/fearful — so we’ll keep “Oh”.

And #13: “our dad (has thrown away)” — probably means he threw something away unexpectedly → “Oh” is perfect.

Now, let’s make sure we used all the words appropriately and didn’t repeat unnecessarily.

List: Oh, Gee, Wow, Ouch, Hey, Please, No

Used:
- No → #1, #7
- Wow → #2, #4, #8, #12
- Gee → #3, #6
- Hey → #5, #9, #11
- Oh → #10, #13
- Please → #14, #15
- Ouch → NOT USED YET!

Uh oh — we haven’t used “Ouch” at all! That’s for pain. Is there any sentence that could fit pain?

Looking back:

None of the sentences clearly describe physical pain. But maybe #10? “The earth is shaking!” — if someone got hurt, but it doesn’t say that.

Wait — perhaps #5? “You are fairly deadly distributor of...” — if it’s implying they caused pain? Still stretch.

Actually, looking again — maybe none of them naturally fit “Ouch”. But the instruction says “add an interjection”, and “Ouch” must be used somewhere.

Perhaps #10: “the earth is shaking!” — if someone fell or got hurt during it? But the sentence doesn’t say that.

Alternatively, maybe #7: “I won’t take it anymore.” — emotional pain? But “Ouch” is usually physical.

Hmm. Maybe the worksheet expects us to force “Ouch” into one even if it’s not perfect? But that’s not right.

Wait — let’s re-read sentence #5: “You are fairly deadly distributor of...” — maybe it’s “distributor of pain”? Then “Ouch” could fit as reaction.

But it’s cut off. Since we have to use all, and “Ouch” is left, perhaps assign it to #5 as a joke or sarcasm? Not ideal.

Alternatively, maybe #11: “got out of here.” — if someone tripped while leaving? Still forced.

Actually, let’s check original image text again — wait, no, we can’t refer to image.

Given constraints, perhaps the intended answer for one of them is “Ouch” — maybe #10? If shaking caused injury.

But logically, “Oh” is better for #10.

Another idea: sentence #3: “this is a gruesome scene” — if it’s bloody, maybe “Ouch” as reaction to seeing gore? Possible.

Let’s swap:

Change #3 from “Gee” to “Ouch” — because gruesome scenes might cause visceral reaction.

Then #6: “we are incredibly rude doing so well?” — still “Gee” for irony.

So revised:

3. Ouch, this is a gruesome scene in public places. *(if it’s visually painful to see)*

6. Gee, we are incredibly rude doing so well?

That uses “Ouch”.

Final check:

Used:
- No → 1,7
- Wow → 2,4,8,12
- Ouch → 3
- Gee → 6
- Hey → 5,9,11
- Oh → 10,13
- Please → 14,15

All seven interjections used.

Perfect.
