Fascinating Fact:

Interjections show sudden feeling. Wow and ouch and hooray can stand alone with an exclamation mark.

In KS3 English, you learn to recognise different word classes and how they work together in sentences. Spotting nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and interjections improves analysis and strengthens your writing choices.

  • Word class: A group that words belong to based on how they function, for example noun or verb.
  • Interjection: A short exclamation that shows strong feeling, such as wow or ouch.
  • Conjunction: A joining word that links words, phrases, or clauses, for example and or because.
What are word classes in KS3 English?

Word classes are categories such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, determiner, and interjection. Each class has a different role in a sentence.

How can I identify an interjection?

An interjection expresses sudden emotion and often stands alone with an exclamation mark, for example wow, ouch, or hooray. It is not grammatically linked to the rest of the sentence.

What is the difference between an adjective and an adverb?

An adjective describes a noun, for example a noisy classroom. An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb, for example whisper quietly or very bright.
