Use Interjections and Correct Punctuation in Dialogue
An interjection is a word or phrase that stands apart from the rest of the sentence and expresses an emotion or sudden feeling.
Some interjections express strong emotions, such as surprise. Others express weaker emotions, such as disinterest. Some interjections are even used to express confusion.
Exarmples:
Huh? I thought the test was next Tuesday.
Eh, I don’t think I want to go to the play.
Hoorayl I can’t believe we won the gamel
Circle the interjection that best fits the sentence.
- (Cooll Huh?) I can’t wait for the birthday party on Saturday.
- (Oh no! Um, I don’t know where the library is located.
- (Yikes! Really?) I didn’t know there were wild horses on the island.
- (Ick! Hal) There are bugs all over the playground.

The Deep Dive
Interjections have been around for centuries, often appearing in literature as a way to give a voice to character emotions. Think of Shakespeare’s comedies or even spirited dialogues in novels; they’re sprinkled with these delightful expressions! They not only add color but also realism to conversations, making them relatable and lively.
Using interjections correctly adds depth to your writing and can completely change the feel of a dialogue. Just remember, while excitement, surprise, or even annoyance can be effectively conveyed, overusing them might create a muddled message. Balance is key!
