    conversation or a thought or to hold
    someone’s attention for a brief period.

    Example:

    On the back of your shirt, um there’s a stain.


    The date went meh.
    In casual and informal writing,
    interjections are acceptable. It’s also
    alright to use them in conversation.
    Other handy tips when using
    Interjections are as follows:
    ● Interjections form a sentence alone, follow it with
    a full stop, question, or exclamation mark.
    ● If interjections are placed in the beginning follow
    it with a comma, exclamation marks, or question
    marks
    ● If in the middle, set off by a comma
    ● If at the end follow with an exclamation mark, or
    question mark.
