Interjections can also appear alone with an exclamation mark, with the following sentence providing more information. This makes the interjection seem more forceful. When an interjection expresses surprise, it can be followed by a question mark rather than an exclamation mark. Ouch! That hurts. Hurray! We won the game. What? You can’t be serious. Interjections should be used sparingly in formal business communication, such as letters and reports. For example, an interjection might be used when quoting someone’s spoken words. Interjections can be effective in advertising materials or sales promotions. These messages are more informal and are designed to grab the reader’s attention.
