Identify the part of speech of the underlined word.

• A. Conjunction
• B. Interjection
• C. Adverb
• D. Pronoun

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Interjection

Why “Oh!” is an Interjection

• Interjections are words used to express sudden feelings or emotions such as surprise, joy, pain, or excitement.

• They often stand alone and are followed by an exclamation mark.

In the sentence:

“Oh! I just forgot to bring the book.”

• The word “Oh!” shows a sudden realization or surprise.

• It does not connect clauses (so it’s not a conjunction).

• It does not modify a verb or adjective (so it’s not an adverb).

• It does not replace a noun (so it’s not a pronoun).
