Conjunctive Adverbs and Interjections

conjunctive adverb
is used to clarify the relationship between clauses of equal weight
in a sentence.

consequently, I was locked out.

An
interjection
is a word or phrase that expresses emotion or exclamation. An
interjection has no grammatical connection to other words. Commas follow mild
interjections; exclamation points follow stronger ones.
Common interjections include oh;
oh, my; good grief; my heavens; darn; drat; gee whiz; and
well.
Exercise 1
Draw a line under each conjunctive adverb, and circle each interjection.
Oh, no, the wind blew my favorite tree down in the park!
1. Linda won’t
be a hairdresser; instead, she’ll be a manicurist.
