Let's Talk About...

Let’s talk about … Interjections!

Interjections are words like "geez", "aha" and they express some sort of strong emotion.

We can say Geez!, Man!, Whoa!, if I am really surprised with something.

If we make a mistake or if we do something wrong but not serious we say: Oops!

When we are reacting to something we don’t like, something that’s bad, ugly or negative we say: Ugh!

When we want to scare someone we say: Boo! We say that word boo and we are supposed to scare someone.

Aha! is what you say when you find a solution to solve a problem that you were working on it. Aha! I have the solution. We can also use that word when we are talking to someone and we think they are not telling the truth and so when we ask them questions and they finally tell us the truth we may say: Aha! Now I understand.

The word duh! is used when we want to say that something is obvious.

Oh-oh! You say oh-oh!; When something goes wrong, when someone makes a mistake. It’s a sign that something bad has happened.

Ouch! You say ouch when you hurt yourself; you may cut yourself or hit your hand against the table accidentally and you hurt.

Whew! You make that sound when you are relieved; when something bad was going to happen but it doesn’t happen so you say whew as a relief.

Brr! You say it when you are cold.

D’oh! It’s said when you feel stupid, for example, you can say: I forgot to turn it on. D’oh!
It’s something you say when you do something stupid or something wrong and what you did was not very smart or intelligent.
