Fascinating Fact:

Interjections show sudden feeling. Wow and ouch and hooray can stand alone with an exclamation mark.

Key Terms

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are word classes in KS3 English?

Word classes are categories such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, determiner, and interjection. Each class has a different role in a sentence.

How can I identify an interjection?

An interjection expresses sudden emotion and often stands alone with an exclamation mark, for example wow, ouch, or hooray. It is not grammatically linked to the rest of the sentence.

What is the difference between an adjective and an adverb?

An adjective describes a noun, for example a noisy classroom. An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb, for example whisper quietly or very bright.
