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.
