An Interjection is a word used to express enthusiasm, disgust, excitement, joy, sorrow, and other expressions. It does not express any particular emotional attachment, sensitivities, etc.
In any sentence, interjections do not require any grammatical adjustments to fit in.
Normally, it starts with a capital letter and an exclamation sign along with it. It can stand alone in a sentence without the support of any other word.
If any other word from part of speech like an adverb, adjective, noun, pronoun is also functioning like an interjection if they come along with an exclamation mark.
