Independent words of interjection

Interjections are not grammatically related to the others words in the sentence but just like the other parts of speech , they are essential in writing and speaking.

Interjections are words or phrases used to exclaim or protest or command

Most mild interjections are treated as parenthetical elements and set off from the rest of the sentence with a comma or set of commas.

If the interjection is more forceful, however, it is followed with an exclamation mark.
