Interjections are one of the eight different parts of speech in English grammar. They are short, passionate words used to express strong emotion. Use interjections to quickly communicate your emotions. Since they are more widely used in spoken English, they should be avoided in official writing.
They are one-of-a-kind and have a few unique characteristics: interjections have no grammatical function in sentence structure. Normally, they can't be updated or altered in any manner. They don't have to be tied to anything else in the statement. Examples of interjections are yikes, umm, ughh, uhh, and so on.
Types of Interjection
The different types of interjection are helpful to identify the parts of speech that help decide whether an interjection is necessary or not. These types are based on one's emotions or feelings.
Rules for Interjections
1. An interjection can be used before or after a statement that explains what is happening.
Example:

What? That's something you never told me!

2. Some interjections are limited to expressing yes or no.
Example:
