The document discusses interjections in sentences. It defines interjections as words that express strong feelings and are not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence. Common interjections include wow, oh, ouch, and shh. Interjections can be followed by exclamation points or commas depending on the emotion with which they are expressed. They are used to convey emotions like joy, pain, surprise, and more.

sentence is followed by an exclamation
mark or comma at times.
etc:
 Wow! That was the best goal of the entire
tournament.
