Trees and Interjections

LESSON 1.38
Trees and Interjections

Adding interjections to trees is simple.

    • Treat them as a one-word sentence if they stand alone.
    • Place them left of what goes before the first verb if they are attached to the sentence.

Interjections That Stand Alone

Example:         Hello.

Example:         Darn it!

We will color interjections gray.

Interjections Attached to a Sentence

Example: Hello, I would like to talk to Bill.
