Interjections
November 12, 2011I read about this topic last week. Actually I just had a quick flip through the green book(Language Description book) on that day. I found it quite interesting, so I decided to share it here. I don't think I'll read this book if there's no examination for this subject. >.<
Interjections are used in our daily conversation. I think I use a lot of 'hmm' .... :) We need to learn interjections and how to use them correctly. This green book is really useful and has more details about this topic. It's very easy for us to study. How nice if we had 'green book' in every subjects.
