Published on Nov 16, 2017

Interjections are another fun part of English! Interjections are used to share thoughts, excitement, emotions, joy and more! Just one word is all it takes. Short phrases are also used as interjections. Remember that all sentences must contain at least one verb. If there is no verb, it must be another part of English grammar! The interjection “No” can be used many ways. It is used to express positive and negative statements. “No” is an adverb in English. Why? Because it modifies a sentence. However, “No” can also be referred to as a “Minor Sentence” if it is used alone. If the person listening to you understands the meaning of a single word, it is considered a “Minor Sentence". Have fun with this subject. Ask your English teacher to further explain the subject of interjections and the word “No.”
