An interjection is sometimes expressed as a single [[word]] or non-sentence phrase, followed by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation_mark punctuation mark]. The [[isolated]] usage of an interjection does not [[represent]] a complete sentence in [[conventional]] [[English]] [[writing]]. Thus, in [[formal]] writing, the interjection will be incorporated into a larger sentence clause. It also can be a reply to a [[question]] or [[statement]].

Expressions such as "''Excuse me''!", "''Sorry''!", "''No thank you''!", "''Oh dear''!", "''Hey that's mine''!", and similar ones often serve as interjections. Interjections can be phrases or even sentences, as well as ''words'', such as "''Oh''!" or "''Wowee''!".[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interjection]
