Lesson 1 – Discovering the Hero; Reclaiming My Worth
Lesson 1.2 Punctuation & Interjections
In this lesson, you will discover the wonders of grammar. How satisfactory it is to properly
punctuate and use interjections in our daily lives. We will also try to reclaim your worth through
the activities in this lesson.
In this activity, you need to be good at spotting mistakes with punctuation. Put in
semicolons (;), colons (:), dashes (-), quotation marks (“ ”), Italics (use an underline), and
parentheses () wherever they are needed in the following sentences.
1.The men in question Harold Fin, Kim Peterson, and Gerald Leene deserve awards.
2.Several countries participated in the airlift Philippines, Korea, Japan, and Thailand.
3.There's no room for error, said the engineer, so we have to double-check every
calculation.
4.Judge Lowell, later to be nominated for the Supreme Court, had ruled against civil
rights.
5.In last week's New Yorker, one of my favorite magazines, I enjoyed reading Leland's
article How Not to Go Camping.
As I’ve said “Punctuations may be small, but they mean BIG in different sentences ”. They
make or break a sentence. They indicate pauses or stops and help put emphasis on a
certain thought or idea.
In the first statement it means to eat Father but for the second one, the speaker is calling
Father to eat with him. See the difference?
Now let’s try to get to know different punctuation marks and its use.
COMMA (,) - Used for a quick pause to signify a new idea. Often used when there is a
list.
Example: I like to eat fruits such as banana, apple, and grapes.
SEMICOLON (;) - Used for equal Emphasis. It unifies related independent clause
with equal significance.
Example: The nurse checked on me earlier; she seemed worried.
Colon (:) - Used in adding a list, elaborate or restatement. It appears at the end of a
main clause.
Example: I have three kittens: Meow, Ming, and Mimi.
I declined the offer at Manchester: I decided to make my own brand.
Jane was bothered about the fight earlier: She was confused if she started
it or her friend.
Em Dash (-) - Used instead of colon in a sentence. This is less formal than the colon.
Examples: After the deliberation, the board had a unanimous decision – guilty.
Quotation Marks (“ “) - Used in pairs in various writing systems to set off a phrase, a
quote or a direct speech. Used when re stating a line or phrase
from a certain person.
Example: “What a wonderful baby,” Luca stated.
Let’s check if you understood our mini discussion by rewriting these sentences and put
the proper punctuation marks.
6.Yes, Kim said, I'll be home by ten.

Activity 6: Hey! Let’s Enter-Jack-Zone
Supply the needed words in the sentences from the box provided.
Goodness WOW AAHHHHHH Great
Tsk Tsk Psst! Yeah Shoo
What do you call those words on the box? They are called INTERJECTIONS!
Interjections are words used to express emotions and sentiments of the speaker. It is
sometimes added to a sentence to convey intense feelings of joy, sadness, anger, regret
surprise repulsion and excitement.
Interjections are commonly a single word or a non-sentence phrase and usually end with
exclamation point (!). Examples are OH my! Wow! Great! Aahh! Psst! Tsk!. Other
examples are mere expressions of greetings such as HI! See you! Cheers! And etc.
Speech fillers are also considered as interjections like umm, uh, etc.
