Interjections add value to a sentence and give a clarity of the mood of the speaker or narrator. While it may not have an impact on the meaning, it can emphasise the emotion or the sentiment. However, it must be noted that Interjections are mostly used during informal communication and should be avoided during formal communication. Even if it is a must to use Interjections in formal sentences, it should be restricted to a few generic words such as 'umm', 'uhh', 'erm', etc.

An interjection is one of the eight parts of speech, which are defined by one or a couple of words used to express the mood or emotion. Although the Interjection does not impact the meaning of the sentence as a whole but acts as an ornamentation in the sentence.

The Subject in an English sentence is usually the noun or pronoun, which is talked about or is performing the action. The easiest trick to identify the subject is to ask yourself, "Who or what is doing the action?" or "Who or what is this sentence about?" The answer is usually the subject.

First and foremost, students need to know the meaning of Subject, only then they will be able to use it in the sentences in the right way. Engage with English media, including videos, shows and even books, to improve your vocabulary and understanding of the topic. Access yourself with self-tests and practice questions, on regular basis.

The Subject is the core component of a sentence in English language. It is the 'thing' that is being talked about or described in the sentence. The subject can be the noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that performs the action of the verb. For example: The girl is eating her food: The subject here is the 'girl' as she is the one who is doing the action, that is, eating her food.
