文法跟讀 In-Tense Ep.066: Interjections 感歎詞

· 文法跟讀單元 In-Tense

Welcome to 15mins.today, the home of English Shadowing. I am your host Gavin, and this is In-Tense Episode 66. Well guys we are ticking along through grammar and we are now moving onto something strange and very easy, interjections. Weird one, right? What is it? Well, those are words that show strong emotion, so they are sounds like “Wow, that was awesome!” That wow, there that's an interjection. So usually you would find them at the beginning of a sentence, but probably not always. So, one of my favorites, “Yahoo, it is Friday!” There you go, an interjection. “Oh no,did I do that that?” Oh no is an interjection. 

 

Now how will I know if something is an interjection? Well usually it should be at the beginning of the sentence, but not always. Sometimes we can put them at the end. I'm sure we could find a way of putting them in the middle, something like, “Oh, rats!” So, there's oh and rats, both are interjections. So how would I know? How do I find them? Easy, your friend Google, Google a list of interjections and you will find plenty of examples of interjections. A lot of them sound like sounds we make and some like words that don't make any sense. Fiddlesticks, there you go, an interjection. So, Google them and you will get some good examples. So, let's get started on ours, and sadly due to the nature of interjections, we can't do questions with them. So, let's look at our examples.

Drill Sentences:

Bravo, you were amazing!

Goodness gracious is that the time!

Wow, what a beautiful car.

Eek, is that a mouse?

Ahoy there!

Congratulations everyone!

Gee whiz, I wish I had one.

Holy smokes, this is not good.

Oh dear, I think I broke it.

Oh well, you tried your best.

Ouch, that was my toe.

Phew, I am so happy that is over.

Shoo, shoo, shoo leave now!

Whoops, I made a big mistake.

Yuk, that was disgusting.

Dang, that horse is beautiful.

Well there you go guys, some examples of interjections. I put them all in at the beginning of the sentences. So, I hope you find it useful. If you hear those sounds, they are quite popular for all of us. You will note it is an interjection and if you want a list as I said, you all you have to do is Google okay? I will catch you in the next episode and bye!
