Answer 2

Interjections are expressions usually placed at the beginning of the sentence for the sake of emphasis. They are followed by a comma or an exclamation mark. For example:

Wow! What are we going to do?

Goodness, we'll have to wait for Ann Marie!

Well, why did you do such a thing?

Oh, Elizabeth, please forgive me!

Oh, forget it! We're late already.
