What is an interrupting word?

An "interrupting word" isn't a standard grammatical term. It's likely you're referring to one of these concepts:

1. Interjections: These are words or short phrases that express strong emotion or surprise. They are often used to interrupt a sentence and are typically set off by commas or exclamation points.

Examples:

* "Wow, that's amazing!"

* "Ouch! I stepped on a nail."

* "Oh, dear, I forgot my keys."

2. Parentheticals: These are phrases or clauses that add extra information or commentary to a sentence. They are usually set off by parentheses, commas, or dashes.

Examples:

* "The cat, (which was very fluffy,) sat on the windowsill."

* "He arrived late, as usual, and apologized profusely."

3. Interrogative words: These are words that introduce questions. They can interrupt a sentence if they are used to ask a question within a statement.

Examples:

* "Do you know what time it is?"

* "I wonder, why is she so quiet?"

4. Phrases that interrupt the flow: Some phrases, like "you know", "I mean", or "sort of", can interrupt the flow of a sentence and make it sound less polished.

Examples:

* "I, you know, really want to go."

* "I mean, it's not that bad, sort of."
