Interjection Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: L.5.1.A
When we want to express a strong emotional or feeling we use words that are called interjections. They are very unique because they don’t affect the grammar of sentences that they are found in. Interjections are classified as one of the eight major parts of speech and they are typically found towards the front of sentences. You will also commonly find them hanging around punctuation marks. You will find these parts of speech used much more often within informal language. They commonly function to demonstrate a sudden explosion of either feelings or emotions of characters or witnesses of an event. This selection of worksheets will help students become comfortable with the proper use of interjections.
