The interjection test consists of 20 questions, each with four multiple-choice answers. Read each question carefully and choose the correct answer from the choices. At the end, you can see your results and score.
Before starting, learn a brief knowledge of interjections:
An interjection is a word or short expression used to express a sudden feeling, emotion, reaction, or response. We use it to convey happiness, surprise, sadness, pain, excitement, or hesitation.
We often use interjections at the beginning of a sentence, but they can also occur elsewhere. They are usually a grammatically independent unit in the sentence.
See the interjections in the bolded text:
Wow! That is a beautiful scenery.
Ouch! I hurt my finger.
Oh, I didn’t know you were present.
Interjections are often followed by an exclamation mark (!) when they express strong emotions. We may also use a comma (,) instead when the reaction is mild.
Types of Interjections
Interjections can be classified according to the feelings or reactions they express as follows:
- Joy: Hurray! Yay!
- Surprise: Wow! Oh!
- Sorrow: Alas! Oh no!
- Pain: Ouch! Ow!
- Disgust: Yuck! Ugh!
- Approval: Bravo! Well done!
- Greeting: Hello! Hi!
- Hesitation: Um! Er!Â
We use interjections when we:
1. Express emotions. Example: Hurray! We won the trophy.
2. React to unexpected events. Example: Wow! You completed it so quickly.
3. Express pain or discomfort. Example: Ouch! It really hurts me.
4. Greet people or gain attention. Example: Hey! Wait for a second.
5. Make conversations more natural. Example: Um, I’m not sure about the postponement.
