What is an “ INTERJECTIONS” ?

When certain strong feelings and sudden emotions are expressed, we use interjections. The problem  with  interjections is that, because they are technically meaningless they require quite a great deal of context to be understood. They are included in a sentence usually at the start to express a sentiment   in any form. It can be shock, surprise, disgust, joy, excitement and enthusiasm.

Interjections are frequently followed by an exclamation mark. Interjections are not grammatically connected to any part of the sentence so they can be removed without creating any confusion.

The following is a list of interjections with examples.
