à 4.6èInterjections
ä:èIn the sentences in the Example, underline the
êêïinterjections.
âS:
#è╕Wow!╗ ╕Oh╗, ╗I guess I left my identification card at home.

#╖(yuk), ╗hurt ╖(ouch), ╗surprise ╖(oh), ╗delight ╖(wow), ╗impatience ╖
#╖(hey), ╗relief ╖(whew), ╗and hesitation ╖(uh).ï╗Sometimes an interjec-
#tion stands by itself, followed by an exclamation point: ╖Darn!╗ïOr
it can be the first word in a sentence, with a comma following it:
#╖Goodness, ╗I shrank the shirt.ïOr it can come later in a sentence,
#with a comma in front of it and behind it: We, ╖uh╗, are unable to
meet the deadline.ïOr it could be the last word in a sentence, with
#one comma preceding it: I did it, ╖yeah.
