Interjections
An interjection is a word or a phrase that expresses a sudden or a strong feeling. Grammatically they are not related in
a sentence but express a relationship between a word and a phrase in a sentence. Sometimes they are followed by an
exclamation mark(!). For example:
Words are:
Cheers, alas, eureka, great, gosh, goodbye, oh, ouch
Interjection in a Sentence:
Alas! I am so lost without you.
Great! You are coming with me.
USE OF ARTICLES
Articles is a word that describes the noun. It is used before a noun to show whether it is specific or not. In English
grammar there are three articles—A, An, The. Let us study about them in detail.
Definite—The
“The” is a definite article which is used before a noun that indicates something clear or obvious.
For example:
• The sun shines bright today.
• Give me the book on the table.
Indefinite—A, An
‘ A’ and ‘An’ are indefinite articles which are used before a noun that are not specific or known before.
• “A” is used before a word beginning with a consonant(alphabets other than vowels) sound.
For example: A book (it can be any book)
A game (it can be any game)
• “An “ is used before a word that begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) sound.
For example: An umbrella
An hour
An ice cream
When No Articles are Used
• For common/general things. For example:
Fruits are good for health.
Do not eat medicines without doctor’s prescription.
