Difference between an interjection and exclamation?
• An interjection are all those words that you can
just say by themselves and add an exclamation
point to. "Wow!" "ACK!" "OY!" "D'oh!" Those are
all interjections.
An exclamation includes that, but can be a
complete sentence as well. "Get to work!"
So an interjection is a form of an exclamation in
a single word. But not all exclamations are
interjections.
