Ouch, you stepped on my toe!
Yippee! We won!
Whoa! Hold your horses!
Bravo, you did a great job!
An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.

Hurrah! I won the race.
Alas! He is hurt badly.
In the above sentences, hurrah and alas are used to express strong feelings.
Interjections are words used to express strong feelings.
We use the sign (!) after we write interjections.
Remember :- Interjections are not sentences but words.
"Interjection" is a big name for a little word. Interjections are short exclamations like Oh!, Um or Ah! They have no real grammatical value but we use them quite often, usually more in speaking than in writing. When interjections are inserted into a sentence, they have no grammatical connection to the sentence. An interjection is sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!) when written.
Here are some interjections with examples:
interjection meaning example
ah expressing pleasure "Ah, that feels good."
expressing realization "Ah, now I understand."
expressing resignation "Ah well, it can't be heped."
expressing surprise "Ah! I've won!"

dear expressing pity "Oh dear! Does it hurt?"
