Using Interjections

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on teaching the use of commas with interjections. It explains that interjections are words expressing strong feelings or surprise and that they should be followed by a comma when they introduce a sentence. The first part of the worksheet lists six sentences each beginning with an interjection, and students must add the correct punctuation after these interjections. The second part requires students to rewrite two given sentences by adding a mild interjection as an introductory phrase and punctuating them correctly.

The objective of this worksheet is to enable students to correctly punctuate sentences that start with interjections. It teaches them that interjections, depending on their intensity, can be followed by either a comma or an exclamation point. By providing examples and practice sentences, the worksheet reinforces the rule that an introductory interjection should be set off from the main sentence with appropriate punctuation. This exercise not only helps students to understand punctuation but also to express emotions and reactions in their writing effectively.
