How do You Punctuate Interjections?

Exclamation point
The exclamation point is the most commonly used punctuation mark for interjections. Obviously,
it is used to communicate strong emotions such as surprise, excitement, or anger.
Examples:

Hooray! I got the job!
Hey! Stop messing with me!

Well, what did your mom say?

Question mark
If you intend to use interjections to express uncertainty or disbelief, it is more appropriate to use
a question mark.

Final Thoughts
Although interjections may seem trivial, the reality is that this part of speech is very important
because it can sometimes be difficult to express emotions in written language. Emoticons may
not be appropriate or possible under certain circumstances, so using interjections proves to be a
more viable option. Just remember all the substantial information provided in this article,
especially when it comes to using the proper punctuation marks to convey intensity, and you will
surely be able to use this part of speech effectively in your own written text.

Types of Clauses

There are two major types of clauses main (or independent) clause and
subordinate (or dependant) clause.

THE HOPES OF HINGORNO

Main Clause and Subordinate Clause Comparison

He is buying a shirt which looks very nice.

The above sentence has two clauses He is buying a shirt and which looks very
nice. The clause He is buying a shirt expresses a complete thought and can alone
stand as a sentence. Such a clause is called main or independent clause.
While the clause which looks very nice does not express a complete thought and
cant stand as a sentence. It depends on another clause (main clause) to express
complete idea. Such a clause is called subordinate or dependent clause.

Main or Independent Clause

Main (or independent) clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought and
can stand as a sentence.
Examples
I met the boy who had helped me.
She is wearing a shirt which looks nice.
The teacher asked a question but no one answered.
He takes medicine because he suffers from fever.
He became angry and smashed the vase into peaces.
In the above sentences each underlined part shows main clause. It expresses
complete though and can stand as a sentence that is why a main or an independent
clause is normally referred as a simple sentence.

Subordinate or dependent Clause

Subordinate (or independent) clause is a clause which does not express complete
thought and depends on another clause (main clause) to express complete thought.
Subordinate clause does not express complete idea and cant stand as a sentence.
A sentence having a subordinate clause must have a main clause.
Example
He likes Chinese rice which tastes good.

THE HOPES OF HINGORNO

The clause which tastes good in above sentence is a subordinate clause because
it does not express complete thought and cant stand as a sentence. It depends on
main clause (he likes Chinese rise) to express complete thought.
Examples.
I met the boy who had helped me.
I bought a table that costs $ 100.
He takes medicine because he suffers from fever.
The teacher asked a question but no one answered.
Subordinate (or dependent) clauses are further divided into tree types,
1. Noun Phrase, 2. Adjective Phrase, 3. Adverb Phrase
