Here's why:
* Interjections express strong emotion, surprise, or a sudden feeling. They often stand alone, but can also be part of a sentence.
* Any word or phrase can be used to convey strong emotions.
Examples:
* Nouns: "Goodness!" "Wow!"
* Verbs: "Stop it!" "Help!"
* Adjectives: "Wonderful!" "Awful!"
* Adverbs: "Seriously!" "Ouch!"
* Prepositions: "Out!" "Away!"
* Conjunctions: "Well!" "Oh, boy!"
Important Note: The key is that the word or phrase is used to express a sudden outburst of emotion, not its typical grammatical function.
