        Preposition in a Sentence:

        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.
