How this list was compiled: Written for this page. In the first set each sentence has a blank where its interjection stands and three interjections under it; the feeling or the moment in the sentence fits one of them only (Ouch for pain, Phew for relief, Shh for quiet). The meaning of each of the 62 interjections on the sheets was read in its English Wiktionary entry, en.wiktionary.org, on 10 October 2026, where each is listed as an interjection. In the second set the interjection is given and the mark after it is the blank: an exclamation point when the interjection stands alone and the next word starts a new sentence with a capital, a comma when the sentence goes on in lower case. The word after the blank is never I or a name. The rule follows Wikibooks, English Grammar, Interjections (after an interjection comes an exclamation point, or a comma when it sits inside a full sentence), en.wikibooks.org/wiki/English_Grammar/Basic_Parts_of_Speech/Interjections, and the Wikipedia articles Interjection, Exclamation mark and Comma, read the same day. Interjections are standard L.5.1a of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, published at thecorestandards.org and read the same day. No person, brand or character is named. Licence: own work

How it works

An interjection is a word or short phrase that shows a feeling or a reaction: Ouch, Wow, Hooray, Uh-oh. It stands apart from the rest of the sentence. Each blank has three interjections under it, and one fits what happens.

Read the full guide

Which interjection fits

The sentence ___! I stubbed my toe on the bed frame. comes with Ouch, Yum and Hooray. A stubbed toe hurts, so the answer is Ouch. Rarer ones are here too: Alas for sorrow, Ahem to get attention, Encore to ask for one more song.

Comma or exclamation point

Under Set, pick Comma or exclamation point? An interjection that stands alone takes an exclamation point, and the next word starts a new sentence: Ouch! That bee stung my arm. One joined to its sentence takes a comma, and the sentence goes on: Well, we could try the other trail.

Questions and answers

What grade learns interjections?

Fifth grade in the Common Core. Standard L.5.1a reads: Explain the function of conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections in general and their function in particular sentences.

Do these work as interjection worksheets for 2nd grade or 3rd grade?

The first set does: its sentences are short and the feelings are plain, such as Yum for a peach dripping with juice. The comma set suits 3rd grade and up. Below 5th grade the grade is our suggestion.
