An exclamation (also called an interjection) is a word or

Exclamations often stand on their own, and in writing they are usually followed by an
exclamation mark rather than a full stop:
• How wonderful!
• Ow! That hurt!

Exclamations are also used to express greetings or congratulations:

• Hello!
• Well done, lads!

the end of the talk
• Adjective Phrase
An adjective phrase is a group of words that describe a noun or pronoun in a sentence. The
adjective in an adjective phrase can appear at the start, end, or in the middle of the phrase. The
