Types of Interjections Because interjections have no connection with the rest of the sentence, their only real use is in quotations, including dialogue between characters in a book, or in informal writing, such as texting, blogging, or emailing friends and family. Interjections are rarely, if ever, used in business or academic writing where the tone should be formal.
Here are types of Interjections: Yes and No Expressions such as yes, no, indeed, and well are often used as interjections. For example: Indeed, this is not the first time the stand has collapsed. Yes, I do intend to cover the bet. Phew! Some interjections are sounds. For example: Phew! I am not trying that again. Humph! I knew that last week. Mmmm, my compliments to the chef.
Multi-word Interjections Some interjections are more than one word. For example: Oh, really? I doubt that. Holy moly! She won! They're not always at the start of a sentence. For example: It is cold, indeed.
