Psst!
What?
Oh!
Really?
This lesson is all about interjections – which is a big word for the little sounds people make to express different feelings. These sounds can have a lot of meaning. It is important to know how to use them correctly because they can be polite or very impolite. Interjections can express interest and enthusiasm, or disinterest and boredom. Learn how to use these very common English expressions to communicate in ways textbooks will not teach you!

yea, i got 100.. Brilliant! lol
Interjections make our talking more natural, so it is important to become familiar enough with them.
You’re right Jade, each language has its own set of interjections to express emotions or feelings.
Wow! What an interesting video-lesson!
Hey! Just a minute! I’ve just made an unforgivable mistake Gill.
I owe you an apology for having you called “Jade”. I was sidetracked while I was writing my comments.
Please accept my apologies.
i think she will forgive you
i got 100 too.Brilliant! lol
Actually all EngVid staff are Brilliant
Hi! what does flamboyant mean?

Hello Gill!
You put so much energy on this lesson! Now I understand every English expession.
Thank you so much, dear teacher!
i got 50 :(
It was great. Think you .
This is great, loving it.
Thank you. I got 10/10
In the quiz, it says “my car was been stolen last week.” Is it a true sentence? Doesn’t it have to be “my car was stolen…”
Thanks monac and bigboy85 for spotting this — yes, it should be “My car was stolen last week.” I’ve asked the EngVid technical department to correct it. Well done to notice — your English is very good if you can spot mistakes!
I now want to use “tut-tut” more often. I clearly haven’t been using it enough in my conversations. I love how formal it is. Haha.
“Hey, did you know that…?”
“Tut-tut! Quiet, please!”
This is going to be GREAT.
Useful lesson, Gill. These are all super important in conversations.
Everyone, don’t forget “Huh?” if you don’t understand something.
Dear Alex..You are a great teacher.I am grateful of your lesson. Hopefully you will bring more good lesson for all of us.
Great. I got 9/10. Thanks Gil!
was this correct? I think something is wrong
8. Susan: My car was been stolen last week.

It seems interjections are like facial expression: quite simular for different counties (languages). But I’ve never heard “yikes” before.))
You’re amazing teacher!

Wow!It’s a really interested lesson Mrs Gill.Yay!I did 10 correct out of 10.It’s so brilliant!….but…just a minute!Do I smell something? Oh nooo!I burnt the food…yuck!uh…er…um this is what happen when all the time I have my mind on engvid website…whew!At least I didn’t burn my kitchen…hahaha
Great! Thank you for this lesson, Gill!
You are a good and adorable teacher.
Interjections are so important to speak well English, but there are so many! Phew!
Hi fcicerre :)
You can say the following:
“Interjections are so important to speak English well”
OR
“Interjections are so important to speak well in English.”
The first is more common and “correct.” :)
Hi Alex!
Thank you for this correction! Learning English (or another language) is a long task, but you help us very much being a so attentive and extraordinary teacher!
10/10
uh…er…um
It’s my first comment on engvid and wow,
Gill! You are very nice!
Really nice video. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the lesson, this is a very difficult subject because it’s about the feelings and our interpretation, for example when I answered the no. 5, I was been sarcastic, sorry about that, and at the no. 7 I though it was politest say pssst! than shhhh! When we are asking for somebody to be quiet. The other expressions are easier to understand because are so specific and the body language is an essential factor. Thank you again, and have a great weekend.
Dear Prof Jill,
I got 100 out of 100. I do love your lesson and your British accent.

Thank you Gill.You are great. The lesson is very interesting and is explained very emotionally. Interjections are some kind of words that we say intuitively ,without thinking.In most cases they sound like as in my native language(not similarly ,but perceivable) .Thank you.

Hello Gill;
you are a perfect teacher.
Big effort from you on this lesson.
Thank you so much.
Again, a very useful lesson Gill. It seems to me that one of the most important things, when someone is learning a new language, is to be able to express yourself using ordinary words rather than big ones.
Gill you are a brilliant teacher thank you !!!)))
Phew! It was difficult stuff.However, 90% isn’t too bad,is it?
Yay I got 100 yooohoo.
