Interjections are words expressing strong emotions and are not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence. They are categorized into three types: volatile interjections, which express sudden feelings; emotive interjections, which convey emotions and typically require a response; and cognitive interjections, which express thoughts and also usually need a response. Examples include 'ouch' for volatile, 'bravo' for emotive, and 'hmm' for cognitive interjections.
