The Conjunction
You can use a conjunction to link words, phrases, and clauses, as in the following
example:
1. I ate the pizza and the pasta.
2. Call the movers when you are ready.
The Preposition
A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a
sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of
the preposition.
A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of
its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples:
1. The book is on the table.
2. The book is beneath the table.
3. The book is leaning against the table.
4. The book is beside the table.
5. She held the book over the table.
6. She read the book during class.
In each of the preceding sentences, a preposition locates the noun "book" in space
or in time.
The Interjection
An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not
grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.
You usually follow an interjection with an exclamation mark. Interjections are
uncommon in formal academic prose, except in direct quotations.
The highlighted words in the following sentences are interjections:
1. Ouch, that hurt!
2. Oh no, I forgot that the exam was today.
3. Hey! Put that down!
4. I heard one guy say to another guy, "He has a new car, eh?"
5. I don't know about you but, good lord, I think taxes are too high!
